Question
which of the following best describes an invasive species?
native plants or animals which grow at an exceptionally fast rate
non - native species introduced to an area ultimately harming the ecosystem or human health
native or non - native species found in nearly every terrestrial area
native plants which take up large areas of space and do not allow for other species to spread
Invasive species are non - native species introduced to an area that cause harm to the ecosystem or human health. Native species are not invasive by definition. Just growing fast is not enough to be invasive; it must also cause negative impacts. And the description about native plants taking up space is incorrect as invasive species are non - native.
