Question

All of the following are correct, except:

Urbanization will lead to increased water pollution and reduction in air quality.

Urbanization will allow for better ecosystems and food webs due to better availability of resources.

Urbanization will cause eventual collapse of local food webs.

Urbanization typically will lead to loss of habitat and biodiversity.

Answer 1

The incorrect statement is:

"Urbanization will allow for better ecosystems and food webs due to better availability of resources."

Why: urbanization typically fragments and destroys habitat, degrades water and air quality, introduces pollutants and invasive species, and simplifies food webs. While some opportunistic species exploit anthropogenic resources (food waste, landscaping), that creates novel, often lower‑quality ecosystems dominated by a few generalists—not "better" ecosystems or healthier native food webs.
