Question 2 • Science 7 B (M12 25/26 S2)

Which best describes primary succession?

Answer
A
the quick introduction of a species to an area where none exist
B
the quick introduction of a species to an area where organisms already exist
C
the gradual introduction of a species to an area where none exist
D
the gradual introduction of a species to an area where organisms already exist

Explanation

Primary succession is the gradual establishment of life in an area where no organisms or soil existed before, such as bare rock after a volcanic eruption. Pioneer species arrive first, and over time other species become established. So the best description is “the gradual introduction of a species to an area where none exist.”
