Some scientists studying aquatic plants notice that flooding often leads to a decrease in the rate of photosynthesis among aquatic plants. Flooding causes more sediment to be suspended in thewater. The increased sediment concentration decreases the amount of light that reaches the plants. Why does a decreased rate of photosynthesis lead to a decrease in a plant population? A. Less water is available for adsorption

B. Less tissue for plant growth

C. Less soil is available for leaf development

D. Less energy is available for reproduction​

The nervous system interacts with the endocrine system by a. using hormones as connections b. sending nerve impulses directly to glands c. using neuroendocrine cells as connections d. sending neurotransmitters directly to neurons
