Question

1. what is one direct consequence of biodiversity loss?

a. ecosystem disruption
b. algal growth
c. glacial expansion
d. ocean stability

Explanation:

Biodiversity loss affects the balance of ecosystems. Ecosystem disruption occurs as species interactions and ecological processes are altered. Algal growth is often due to nutrient pollution (e.g., eutrophication), not direct biodiversity loss. Glacial expansion is related to climate cooling, not biodiversity loss. Ocean stability would be negatively impacted by biodiversity loss, not maintained. So the direct consequence is ecosystem disruption.

Answer:

a. Ecosystem disruption
