the lionfish is a fish found naturally in the pacific ocean. it has very few predators and preys on smaller fish. in the 1980 oceans around the florida coast after aquarium owners began to dump them there. because they have few predators, this is an example of how a(an) ______ species can impact an environment negatively.
adapted
invasive
producer

Explanation:

1. For the first question, animals can disperse seeds as they move around, which helps in plant reproduction and distribution. Overpopulating habitats is a negative impact, producing oxygen is mainly done by plants, and spreading disease is also a negative effect.
2. For the second question, an invasive species is a non - native species that causes harm to the new environment. The lionfish being introduced to the Florida coast and having a negative impact is an example of an invasive species. Adapted species are those that have adjusted well to their environment in a normal way, and producers are organisms like plants that produce their own food through photosynthesis.

Answer:

1. Dispersing seeds
2. Invasive
