PLEASE HELP! Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. In an ecosystem, marsh snails feed on phytoplankton and painted turtles feed on marsh snails. Pollution has resulted in the depletion of phytoplankton. What effect would this situation likely have on the population of marsh snails and painted turtles?
As phytoplankton were destroyed, the population of marsh snails would most likely
(decrease, increase, stay the same). Then the population of painted turtles would mostly likely (decrease, increase, stay the same).
