Answer:

a. Producers, consumers, and decomposers will be affected.

Explanation:

All the living beings, irrespective of their nutritional category, require water for survival. Water helps in digestion of food, serves as a medium for metabolic activities as well as maintain the body temperature.

Producers need water for photosynthesis and other vital life processes; consumers also need water for digestion and other metabolic processes. The process of decomposition requires the presence of moisture. Hence, water scarcity would affect all types of biotic components (Producers, consumers, and decomposers) of the ecosystem.

B, for sure. Producers, Like grass and Flowers need water to make food. Consumers, like Cats, Snakes and Boars need water to drink so our internal systems will function properly.
Im not sure if decomposers need water, but if there is less water then more animals die and they get food. so, not sure about that one.

What is agricultural monoculture and why is that bad for crops?

Katarina [22]

<h2>EXPLANATION:</h2>

<h3>Modern monoculture requires vast amounts of rain for irrigating crops as moisture retention is limited in the soil. A lack of topsoil also increases rain runoff. To achieve this vast amount of extra water it means draining from lakes, rivers, and reservoirs, which is exhausting natural resources and aquatic ecosystems.</h3>

Which of the following most accurately describes the process that must occur when working with research animals covered by U.S.

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

The process which must occur when intending to work with research animals that are covered by the U.S federal regulations is ethical review and approval

Explanation:

Some animals had been threatened of extinction due to inconsiderate usage and killings due to either commercial, food, or research purpose. The U.S government, therefore, to prevent the extinction of such animals, formulated a law to restrict the engagement of these animals, even in research if the research will involve the slaughtering, injuring, or alter the physiological functions of the subject animals. Therefore, there has been needing to undergo a compulsory ethical review process when planning to undertake research. This process will objectively review the aims and objectives of the intended research, the methodology involved in achieving the aim, as stated in the research proposal. The importance of this review is to determine if the research will have deleterious effects on the animals, both spontaneously and in the future.
