The correct answers are:

a. 2. decrease.

b. 2. decrease.

Since the phytoplankton is at the bottom of the food chain in this situation, and it is the one that is the most affected by the pollution, all the species directly and indirectly connected to it will suffer as well.

The numbers of the marsh snails will significantly decrease because they will lose their primary food source. As a chain reaction, as the number of marsh snails decreases, the painted turtles will lose their own prime food source, sot heir numbers will decrease significantly as well.

Luden [163]
The people of Aad were an ancient tribe of Saudi Arabia. Their city was known as Iram. The tribe was popular for its cleverness and physical strength and therefore, they are also called giants. They were so strong and intelligent that they could carve mountains and use it as their homes. , the Thamūd were the successors of a previous nation called the ʿĀd, who had also been destroyed for their sins. They lived in houses carved into the surface of the earth. God chose the prophet Ṣāliḥ to warn the polytheistic Thamūd that they should worship the One God.
