Question

Ability of the community to come back quickly to its original form
A. Resistance
B. Resilience
C. Disturbance
D. Heterogeneity

Answer 1

Hint: In order to guess your answer. When does an organism capable of coming back to its original form steadily. Is it when it is resistant to its environment or is it when it is resilient? If resistance means resisting change what does the opposite of resistance mean?

Complete answer:
In order to get a correct answer, we just know what each of the terms means. Resistance by definition means the inherent ability of an organism to resist attack by biological agents or to save it from the attack of abiotic factors. The disturbance is often characterized by a sudden temporary change in an ecosystem that alters the structure and function of the components of an ecosystem. Heterogeneity on the other hand is referred to as being diverse throughout. However, resilience is a complex and dynamic process where, broadly defined as possessing the ability to adapt successfully to adversity, stressful life events, significant threat, or trauma. It is best conceptualized as a continuum, with the potential for change across the life span. The community undergoing resilience doesn't take much time to quickly come back to its natural form. An example of resilience can be an elastic stretched for a long period of time. When released, it quickly regains its previous shape and size.

Thus, the correct answer is option B Resilience.

Note:
Resilience is often found in the ecosystem to maintain a normal nutrient recycling process. Biological biomass production is maintained in cases of disturbance faced by an ecosystem.
