Question

3 multiple choice 1 point the zebra mussel is considered invasive because it: reproduces slowly and stabilizes habitats consumes fish eggs outcompetes native species for algae and clogs intake pipes improves water quality

Explanation:

Zebra mussels are invasive. They reproduce rapidly (not slowly), so the first option is wrong. They don't mainly consume fish eggs. While they can filter water (but this is not why they're invasive), their key invasive trait is out - competing native species for food (like algae) and causing infrastructure problems (clogging intake pipes).

Answer:

Outcompetes native species for algae and clogs intake pipes
