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:

In times of drought, there would be a reduction in the metabolic activity of an organism.

• Most organisms found in very dry climates have adaptation to accommodate a period of drought.
• Water is essential for the metabolic processes in an organism.
• A deficiency of water will reduce these life activities.
• The organism can become inactive as a result of this.
