Use the incomplete diagram below, illustrating some of the steps involved in eutrophication to answer the following question.
A---> algae grow faster --> algae die -->Dead algae and plants accumulate-->(B)-->Dissolved oxygen levels fall-->aquatic animals suffocate and die.
What would be a likely entry for box B?
Use the incomplete diagram below, illustrating some of the steps involved in eutrophication to answer the following question.
a. carbon dioxide building up from cellular respiration by decomposers
b. fish that cannot acclimate to low oxygen levels
c. warm water holding less oxygen than cold water
d. plants no longer producing oxygen
e. decomposer population carries on cellular respiration and uses up oxygen
Answer: d
