Question

All organisms must have water for survival. If a drought causes the water in an ecosystem to become scares the organisms in this

ecosystem will not have as much water accessible to them
A decrease in the water available to an organism for cellular processes will most likely result in
CA
a decrease in optimal temperature ranges
e.
an increase in activity level
C, a decrease in metabolic activity
an increase in metabolic activity

Answer 1

C, a decrease in metabolic activity

Step-by-step explanation:

Water is an essential compound needed for the survival of all organisms in nature.

The bulk of most organisms is made up of water. Most importantly, water is integral part of cellular metabolic processes.

• In the time of drought, metabolic activities will reduce.
• Organisms will tend to be inactive so as to conserve the little water they might have access to.
• This is an important adaption for organisms.
