How does water pollution affect living organisms?

• It enhances their habitat and promotes growth.

• It can harm living organisms by contaminating their habitat, leading to health issues and death.

• It has no effect on living organisms.

• It only affects plants, not animals.

What does a healthy ecosystem indicate about the diversity of life?

• A healthy ecosystem is indicated by a high diversity of life.

• A healthy ecosystem has low diversity of life.

• A healthy ecosystem is characterized by a single dominant species.

• A healthy ecosystem shows no change in species diversity over time.

What happens to ecosystems that lack sufficient water?

• They thrive and become more diverse.

• They can become unhealthy, leading to a decline in biodiversity.

• They adapt by increasing water retention.

• They become more resilient to climate change.

What is the significance of water in the food chain?
