The excessive use of nitrogen-based fertilizers causes runoff that increases the nitrogen content of lakes and bays. The nitrogen directly affects the aquatic ecosystem by_

C or the third answer choice

Explanation:

If algae excessively grows on the tops of the water, it can block sunlight. That will make the underwater plants die, and the animals that eat those underwater plants will slowly have less to eat if they can't adapt quickly enough. When the algae dies, it takes oxygen with it. If it take all of the oxygen in the water, that whole ecosystem could potentially die as well.

as the gila monster consumes the eggs or young of the desert cottontail and gambel's quail, thus its main food supply is only accessible for a restricted time duration every year. however, for this, the gila monsters exhibit three adaptations, which elevate their survival rate in the desert condition.  

first, is that they possess huge bodies, and can consume greater concentrations of food during a small period. secondly, they require to feed infrequently as they can accumulate fat in their tails. ultimately, their rate of metabolism is very low, so that they can burn their reservoirs of fat gradually.
