Question

Predict what the effect of a powerful fungicide that killed almost all fungi have on humans and animals.
a. The humans and animals would not have any more parasites that could harm them
b. The amount of waste would build up and the toxins produced would harm the animals and humans
c. The ecosystems where the fungi were eliminated would flourish and provide more food for the animals and humans
d. The plants would no longer have any competition and could provide more food for the animals and humans.

Answer 1

The amount of waste build up

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is option b. "The amount of waste would build up and the toxins produced would harm the animals and humans".

Explanation:

Fungi play a major role in the ecosystem as decomposers and recyclers. When fungi eat the waste they help that other organisms absorb elements such as nitrogen and phosphorus from decaying matter. If a powerful fungicide would killed almost all fungi, the amount of waste would build up and the toxins produced would harm the animals and humans.
