Question

1. Global warming has caused higher than average temperatures. High temperatures have dried up swamps and rivers. What
do you expect to see due to less water?
A. Less producers
C. Less toads
B. More predators
D. More producers

Answer 1

Answer:

A.  Less producers

Explanation:

Producers/plants are usually in abundance around ponds, rivers and other sources of water.

Take away any of the essentials:  Sun, nutrients, water and the flora/plant life will regress to just a few species that can survive harsh conditions.

Answer 2

Due to global warming, less water will eventually result in less producers or shortage of plants.

What are the effects of global warming?

The gradual heating of the surface of the Earth, atmosphere and oceans resulting due to human activity, mainly the burning of fossil fuels that releases carbon dioxide, methane, and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is termed global warming.

Due to global warming, the average temperature of the Earth is increasing gradually. This is further resulting in the occurrence of the extreme weather events. The melting of glaciers is also taking place due to global warming. Apart from this, acidification of oceans and levels of sea are also rising due to global warming.

As the average temperature of the Earth is increasing, the drying of rivers and swamps is taking place. This would further result in the less production of producers, that is, plants. Photosynthesis is the basic requirement of plants to survive, and the process would fail to take place in the absence of water. The fundamental requirement for the process of photosynthesis to take place is water, sunlight, and carbon dioxide.

Thus, the correct answer is option A, that is, less producers.
