Question

1. which of these would be the last to feel the effects of a lack of algae? * 1 point

a. fish
b. plants
c. humans
d. tiny organisms

Explanation:

Algae are primary producers in aquatic ecosystems. Tiny organisms (like zooplankton) directly rely on algae for food, so they'd feel effects first. Fish eat tiny organisms, so they'd be next. Plants on land might be affected later due to indirect ecosystem impacts (e.g., oxygen levels, nutrient cycles), but humans are at the top of the food chain and have more diverse food sources and adaptability, so they'd be the last to feel the direct effects of a lack of algae.

Answer:

c. humans
