Answer:

reduction in biodiversity by eliminating spawning and nursery grounds of aquatic life

Explanation:

Estuaries are transition zones localized between rivers and marine ecotones. These regions are influenced by marine factors such as waves, tides, and saline water, while rivers provide freshwater and sedimentary material. The mixture between seawater and freshwater is generally highly nutritive, thereby estuaries often represent high-production systems where fishes and shellfishes spawn and grow. However, many estuaries have suffered the negative effects of human activities, including deforestation, drainage, overfishing, nutrient pollution, etc.

On the other case, the black color of the potato suggests that there is a great amount of starch in the potato. Anyway, this does not mean that there is no starch in the apple at all. As fruits ripen, starch slowly changes to sugar. Iodine cannot react with sugar, so the black color in the apple is missing.</span>
