Hello this question is incomplete. The full question is:

"Which of the following is an environmental cost of agricultural

A. More Crop Rotation B. Reduced Biodiversity C. Reduced Soil Erosion D. More Cash Crop"

Answer:

B. Reduced Biodiversity

Explanation:

Agriculture is the term used to describe the set of techniques that aims to grow plants for human consumption or feeding animals that will bring some benefit to human beings, such as cows and sheep, for example. In addition, agriculture is also important for the production of raw materials for various products, medicines, tools, construction material, fuel, among others.

As we can see, agriculture is essential to human beings, however, it causes a decrease in the planet's biodiversity. This is because to cultivate crops it is necessary to deforest and remove natural vegetation from an area. This can remove a diversity of plants and animals that contribute to the planet's biodiversity.

Worms move using an hydrostatic skeleton. How do worms move?

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. Worms move through changes in body structure caused by contraction of muscles compressing their watery fluid.

Explanation:

The hydroskeleton consists of a fluid-filled cavity, surrounded by muscles. The fluid pressure and the action of the muscles that border it, serve to change the body's shape and produce a movement such as digging or swimming. The successive contraction of various metamers, which are provided with bundles of circular and longitudinal muscle fibers, stretching and thickening parts of the body, allow it to move horizontally. Hydrostatic skeletons have a role in the locomotion of annelids, nematodes and other invertebrates. The hydroskeleton has similarities with the hydrostatic muscles.

A human lost at sea without fresh drinking water is effectively lost in an osmotic desert. why would drinking salt water be harm

Grace [21]

Drinking salt water is harmful because it messes up the salt concentration in each of your red blood cells. It over loads the salt in it and causes the cell to swell up and burst due to it trying to let in more water to balance the salt concentration out.

ludmilkaskok [199]

The best answer is: introducing exotic species into <span> new environments. This can be actually bad, as new species can actually reduce the biodiversity in the environments to which they're introduced</span> , such when cats hunt indigenous birds.

I was a bit thinking about the last option too: making sure local people benefit from conservation efforts. This is not one of the classical goals of the conservation efforts, but since the previous one is definitely correct, i don't this one is. (it's not that it's not a goal, but it isn't a main focus)
