D- All of the above I think
Salvatore's decision to dump his fish tank and its contents into a nearby freshwater canal could have devastating consequences for the ecosystem.
The non-native fish species from the tank could outcompete and prey on native fish, leading to disruptions in the natural balance and potentially causing local extinctions.
The uneaten fish food and waste from the tank could lead to water pollution, harmful algal blooms, and a decline in water quality, affecting aquatic plants and other animals in the canal.
This irresponsible action could harm the delicate biodiversity of the canal, disrupting the entire ecosystem and leading to long-term environmental damage.

Which of the following best describes an example of a specific internal response to harmful bacteria?
Skin serves as a physical barrier that prevents bacteria from entering the body.
Saliva contains enzymes that destroy bacteria and prevent infection.
Bacterial infection causes the release of histamine, which leads to inflammation and swelling.
Antigens trigger the production of antibodies, which mark bacteria for destruction.
Answer:
Antigens trigger the production of antibodies, which mark bacteria for destruction.
Explanation:
The question is talking about internal response to bacteria so we have to look at what happens inside the body pertaining to bacterial infection, so the answer is "Antigens trigger the production of antibodies, which mark bacteria for destruction".
Answer:
A .....the skin is the bodies first line of defense
Explanation:
The first line of defence is non-specific and aims to stop microbes from entering the body.
Explanation;
B. increased nitrates available due to inaccurate methods of denitrification
C. increased global warming due to alternative energy sources
D. increased amount of water that is available to freshwater ecosystems
The correct answer is A.
An increase in levels of nitrogen and phosphorus can cause eutrophication, which often leads to algal and phytoplankton blooms in the ecosystems and the formation of dead zones or toxins in the water. The excess nitrogen and phosphorus enter the water from agriculture water runoff and sewage release .
Answer: Option D
Explanation: Natural selection come into action when some change takes place in the environment which affects the survival of the organism. Here the change is addition of antibiotics. So the bacterial cells which were able to adapt to the change, they survived and rest were killed. These resistant bacterial cells would pass on the genes to next generation and gradually population of resistant bacteria would increase.
