Answer:

The correct answer is- Normal vaginal pH is acidic (4 to 5), which protects from infection.

Explanation:

The vaginal part in woman have high tendency to get infection because of moist internal condition and its location but vagina also have a protective mechanism which protect it from the infection.

A woman's vagina contains many species of Lactobacillus genus which secrete lactic acid and hydrogen peroxide that maintains the low pH level in the vagina. So due to this reason, the normal pH of the vagina remains between 4-5 which does not allow pathogenic bacteria to flourish and cause infection.

kirill [66]

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.
