Which of the following is not a likely result of destruction of wetlands? A. healthy fish populations. B. decline in plant and animal populations C. increased frequency of floods D. pollution of nearby streams. PLEASE HELP

Option A) healthy fish populations.

Explanation:

Wetlands include swamps and marsh. i.e areas of land covered with water.

Once, wetlands are destroyed by human activities there would be:

- a reduction in the population of plant and animal that rely on its native organisms due to starvation.

- increased frequency of floods since excess water can no longer be collected there

- pollution of nearby streams as rain will wash off materials into them

However, healthy fish populations does not happen since producers like plankton eaten by the fishes are also destroyed.

Thus, healthy fish populations is the unlikely outcome

answer:

the water molecules are transferred from the roots to the stem or top parts of the tall tree because of important properties of water which are adhesion, cohesion and capillary action. cohesion is the property of water molecules keeps water molecules in a combined state by sharing of bonds between them at the atomic level. adhesion allows the interaction of water molecules with other substances or substrate. adhesion will cause the attachment of water molecules to the wall of the vessel (xylem) of the plant. capillary action occurs when the adhesive force to the vessel wall is stronger than the cohesive force between water molecules. capillary action mimics the transfer of water from a tube or pipe. in this way water utilizes its property to transfer water from down to top level of the plant.  

step 1: nitrogen fixation- conversion of atmospheric no₂ into forms useful to plants by lightning, bacteria, and cyanobacteria.

step 2: nitrification-process of converting ammonia to nitrite or nitrate.

step 3: assimilation-plant roots absorb new form of nitrogen.

step 4: ammonification-conversion of organic nitrogen to ammonia by bacteria involved in decomposition.

step 5: denitrification-bacteria turns the decomposed matter back into n₂o, which is released into atmosphere; repeat cycle.
