Answer:
how changes in biodiversity impact an ecosystem
Explanation:
Water hyacinth is a free-floating perennial aquatic plant. This plant is native to tropical and sub-tropical South America. As an invasive species, when it grows in the new environment causes severe ecological or economic harm. By growing where it not native, it can spread extremely fast, blanketing a water surface in a very short period of time. It can limit boat traffic, swimming, and fishing, and it can deprive native plants and animals of sunlight and oxygen, thus reducing the local biodiversity.
This is how an ecosystem effects biodiversity impact. When a biological species grows in the new environment, It can affect the biodiversity or environment that can affect the biological species.

Scientific method includes some steps that are necessary for conducting the successful experiment.
1. Make an observation
You observe the growth of the plant under the influence of light (phototropic effect) and you notice that some plants successfully grow under artificial light. You want to compare that growth with growth under the sunlight.
2. Ask a question
How does the light influence plant growth?
Are the wavelengths of the light important?
Is natural light source (sun) better for plant growth...
3. Form a hypothesis - it is a testable potential answer to the question
For example: Sunlight induces higher phototropic reaction.
4. Make a prediction
Sunlight is richer in red and blue hues which are both extremely important to plant growth.
5. Test the prediction
Design an experiment by putting one pot with beans outside on sunlight and other under the light bulb. Other conditions such as water must be the same. Monitor their growth for about 2 weeks and measure the results.
6. Analyze the data and make a conclusion.
Answer:
Since the origin of humans on this planet, they have been trying their best to make their lives easier on this planet. In doing so, human activities have some how heavily damaged the Earth. Many day to day activities of humans are dangerous for the Earth.
Some of the consequences of human activities on the Earth's fresh water are :
Extinction of many aquatic species:
The water consumed by humans comes from the fresh water oceans. As the population of humans is increasing enormously, the water from the oceans is being consumed at dangerous levels. This has caused many species of aquatic animals to become extinct or to be at a verge of extinction as they do not have a habitat to survive or reproduce.
Pollution:
Many heavy industries, house sewage, farmers dispose waste into the fresh water. Hence, killing aquatic animals and polluting the fresh water ecosystems.
