Well, of course! What did you expect?

If you resize an image to make it smaller, you remove pixels. When you 
remove pixels, you remove detail.

On top of that, if you save as JPEG, you remove even more detail. JPEG 
compression is "lossy." It was invented for situations where file size 
is critical and image quality is not im****tant. It makes files smaller 
by discarding image detail.
