Concept explainers
To determine:
Whether the declination in amphibian population affects the human.
Introduction:
Amphibians are an unavoidable part of the food web. Amphibians are the connecting link between aquatic and terrestrial animals and keep the balance between both food chains. Larva of amphibians feed upon the algae and other aquatic plants and adult amphibians feed upon the insects and mosquitoes.
To explain
The reason of declination in amphibian population
Introduction:
The declination of amphibians is high and it is affecting the human and environment badly. There are many factors which are causing the declination in a population of amphibians. Many environmental effects affect the existence of amphibians, as well as there are many men created reasons for the disappearance of the amphibian population.
