The biodiversity will decrease due to an increase in pollution is the effect will have on the biodiversity on the river ecosystem.

Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

Biodiversity is the actual collection of total amounts of flora and fauna present in a particular ecosystem. The river ecosystem consists of the aquatic plants, the aquatic animals like fishes,etc and even the surrounding land plants and animals, who utilize the river water for their living.

The inclusion of the polluted sewage of the surrounding area into the river directly mixes several chemicals to the water, which are potentially harmful for all the animals living there. This leads to destruction of the flora and fauna of both water and lands surrounding them. This hampers the biodiversity of the water as well as surrounding land.

trapecia [35]

Answer:

  • First outgroup → Ray-Finned Fishes
  • Second outgroup → Sharks

Explanation:

The outgroup is the most distant taxonomic group that shares no traits or characters with the lineages of interest, which compose the ingroup. You can compare the outgroup with the ingroup to determine the evolutive relationship and which characters are primitive or derived.    

Even though the outgroup shares a common ancestor with the ingroup, this is placed far away in evolution, making the outgroup to be the taxonomic group less related to the other lineages. The lineages in the ingroup share another common ancestor that is more recent in history.

To select the outgroup, you need to focus on what you are interested in. There might be several outgroups, but you should choose the one that is more related or closer to the ingroups. This selection is important because you need to make comparisons to understand the evolution of specific traits.  

In the exposed example, we need to focus on animals that have four limbs. Then, we might assume that the ingroup is composed of Amphibians Crocodiles Dinosaurs. Sharks and Ray-Finned Fish do not have four limbs, so they might be considered outgroups.

From these two outgroups, sharks have a cartilaginous skeleton, while Ray-Finned Fishes have a bony skeleton. This fact makes ray-finned fishes more related to the ingroup than the sharks. So,

  • First outgroup → Ray-Finned Fishes
  • Second outgroup → Sharks

How would expect the biomass to change after ten days if seeds and plants were provided the following conditions?
atroni [7]

Answer:

La biomasa (energía) se refiere a la biomasa «útil» en términos energéticos formales: las plantas transforman la energía radiante del Sol en energía química a través de la fotosíntesis, y parte de esa energía química queda almacenada en forma de materia orgánica; la energía química de la biomasa puede recuperarse quemándola directamente o transformándola en combustible.
