Question

sample response: an area going through secondary succession reaches its climax community faster because the area begins with some soil and some plant and animal species. an area that goes through primary succession, on the other hand, begins with no soil and no organisms, so reaching the climax community takes longer.
what ideas did you include in your response? check all that apply.
□ an area going through secondary succession begins with some soil and some plant and animal species.
□ an area going through primary succession begins with no soil and no organisms.

Explanation:

To determine the correct options, we analyze the sample response. The sample response states that secondary succession starts with some soil and plant/animal species, and primary succession starts with no soil and no organisms. Both statements in the options match these descriptions from the sample response.

Answer:

A. An area going through secondary succession begins with some soil and some plant and animal species.
B. An area going through primary succession begins with no soil and no organisms.
