Which of the following best describes the likely impact of an invasive plant species on a warm ecosystem?
The invasive plant species become carnivores since their normal food source is eaten by the native producers. The invasive plant species eat other consumers in the ecosystem, causing a decrease in the consumer population of the ecosystem.

The invasive plant species prevents native producers from doing photosynthesis. Native producers go extinct, but the consumer population increases as a result.

The invasive plant species take over resources used by native plant species. Some plant species decrease in population, affecting the food source for consumers in the ecosystem.

The invasive plant species become decomposers since the ecosystem already has native producers. All other decomposers go extinct in the ecosystem, replaced by invasive plant species.
