Scientists are concerned about bee species dying off. They are pollinators, and if they are gone, many plant species will die off because they cannot reproduce. This will cause a population crash. What will happen to biodiversity and sustainability as a result?(1 point)

Answer 1

The correct response is:

Biodiversity will decrease, and sustainability will decrease.

As bee species die off, many plants that rely on them for pollination will struggle to reproduce, leading to a decline in plant populations. This reduction in plant diversity will negatively impact overall biodiversity and the ecosystems that depend on a diverse range of species. With reduced biodiversity, the resilience and sustainability of ecosystems will be compromised, leading to further ecological challenges.
