Answer:
A. Biodiversity will decrease .
Explanation:
- The loss of a keystone species can cause extinction or mass destruction of other species that are dependent on it because keystone species are those species which significantly influence the existence and survival of other species in an ecosystem
- Since, beavers are considered as the keystone species, their removal from the ecosystem will cause loss of many other species in the ecosystem resulting in Decrease in the biodiversity of that ecosystem.
Nutrient Leaching
Leaching is the process where dissolved nutrients in the
soil profile moves downward with percolating water. It is the loss of
water-soluble plant nutrients from the soil. The nutrients that seep through
the rooting zone may be recycled if roots grow deeper.
Although amino acids may have other formulas, those in protein invariably have the general formula RCH(NH2)COOH, where C is carbon, H is hydrogen, N is nitrogen, O is oxygen, and R is a group, varying in composition and structure, called a side chain.
