Answer 1

C. There is not enough oxygen in the

atmosphere to support excessive numbers of

aquatic plants.

Step-by-step explanation:

n excess amounts, both nutrients can cause an increase in aquatic plant growth and algae blooms, called eutrophication. These algae blooms live at the water surface, in order to easily access oxygen and sunlight. As a result, eutrophication prevents lower water levels from access to sunlight and oxygen in the air.

Answer 2

C

Step-by-step explanation:

There would be a high amount of nitrates and phosphates, which reduces the amoubt of oxygeb in the tank, that will lead to the difficulty of supportibg the excessive amount of aquatic plants.
