The bighead carp, a fish that is non-native to the missouri river, feeds on plankton. many native fish species, such as the paddle fish, also feed on plankton. the feeding cycle of paddle fish is slower than that of the carp. the carp are eating up all the plankton in the river, and there is hardly any food left for the paddle fish. how will this impact the ecosystem of the missouri river? the carp will be displaced. the paddle fish population will increase rapidly. the carp will become extinct. the paddle fish may become extinct.

The paddle fish may become extinct.

An invasive species is the non-native species that may introduced into the new habitat by human intervention or through immigration. The invasive species competes with the native species for resources such as food, habitat, mates and other resources. This results in the loss of the native species from the habitat.

The paddle fish may become extinct. is the correct option because the bighead carp has proved to be an invasive species which has competed with the paddle fish species and has resulted in the decline of the plankton population. This considerably resulted in the loss of the paddle fish due to lower or no availability of food (plankton).

the generally accepted parts of modern cell theory include: all known living things are made up of one or more cells. all living cells arise from pre-existing cells by division. the cell is the fundamental unit of structure and function in all living organisms.
