Question

The water hyacinth is an invasive species that 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 situation demonstrates _______. a. how migratory patterns change in response to alterations in an ecosystem b. the effects of symbiosis c. the effects of local evolution or migration on an ecosystem d. how changes in biodiversity impact an ecosystem

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is D

Explanation:

Answer 2

1Answer:

The correct answer is - D. how changes in biodiversity impact an ecosystem.

Explanation:

The water hyacinth is an invasive plant species that rapidly grows and creates a thick layer over the water surface in almost every aquatic ecosystem. The growth of the layer of this species causes problems to the environment, ecosystem, humans, and other species.

These aquatic plants reduce the oxygen level and other nutrients from the ecosystem it is introduced and affect the biodiversity by increasing heavy metals and contaminants.

The layer of this plant inhibits photosynthesis that decreases sugar and energy production and blocks the boat and ship movements and economically as well.
