Solution

The first statement is true: Not all introduced species are invasive. An introduced species refers to any organism that is brought to an ecosystem where it is not native. While some of these species can become invasive, meaning they cause harm to the new environment, others may not have any significant impact.

The second statement is false: Endemic species are often significantly affected by invasive species. Invasive species can outcompete endemic species for resources, alter their habitat, or even prey directly upon them, leading to declines or even extinction in some cases.

The third statement is false: Alien species are not organisms from other planets. In the context of biology, "alien" simply means that the species is not native to the ecosystem in which it is found. It has nothing to do with extraterrestrial life.

The fourth statement is false: It is not a wrong notion that most invasive species are introduced by humans. Humans are indeed responsible for the introduction of many invasive species, often unintentionally through activities like trade, travel, and agriculture.
