✔️Malnutrition is a condition that results from eating a diet in which one or more nutrients are either not enough or are too much such that the diet causes health problems.It may involve calories, protein, carbohydrates, vitamins or minerals.

✔️Not enough nutrients is called undernutrition or undernourishment while too much is called overnutrition.

✔️Malnutrition is often used to specifically refer to undernutrition where an individual is not getting enough calories, protein, or micronutrients.

✔️If undernutrition occurs during pregnancy, or before two years of age, it may result in permanent problems with physical and mental development.

✔️Extreme undernourishment, known as starvation, may have symptoms that include:
▪️a short height
▪️thin body
▪️very poor energy levels
▪️and swollen legs and abdomen.

✔️People also often get infections and are frequently cold.The symptoms of micronutrient deficiencies depend on the micronutrient that is lacking.

Think of a change that can occur to an ecosystem and the populations that live in that area. In what ways can the different popu
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

There are several environmental factors that causes changes in the ecosystem and the population of that area such as invasive species, extreme weather, land use change, pollution and disease.

Lets take invasive species as environmental factor. Introduction of invasive species can cause a huge change in the ecosystem and affects the native population in that area. it increases the competition for food resources and decreases the survival rate of their preys.

For example: Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes). It is an invasive plant species that has very bad impact of native population as well as other population, like it reduces biological diversity, oxygen loss, decreased phytoplankton productivity,  eliminate plants that animals use for nesting, and alter animal communities by blocking access to the water.

Thus invasive population can affect population by reducing biodiversity, water shortages, decreasing availability and quality of key natural resources, disturb the food chain and can cause natural calamities.

Invasive species affect the resources that native species are using and that decreases the carrying capacity of the native population as it disturbs the whole food chain.
