Alarge amount of algae in a lake are results of a) global warming b) rain forest deduction c) phosphate and nitrogen pollution d) a decrease in the number of decomposers

C) phosphate and nitrogen pollution

Explanation:

Eutrophication is a phenomena in which the water body which consists of high concentration of fertilizers drained in a water body by agricultural field runoff. The fertilizers typically composed of phosphates and nitrogen results in growth of aquatic plants and extensive algal growth on the surface of water. This leads to the depletion of oxygen levels in the water body. As a result of this the water exhibit a foul smell and the aquatic animals decline in numbers.

According to the given situation, the large amount of algae in a lake is because of the increase in the phosphate and nitrogen pollution. The increase in concentration of the phosphate and nitrogen will lead to the phenomena of eutrophication.

the cell is the smallest structural and functional unit of living organisms, which can exist on its own. therefore, it is sometimes called the building block of life. some organisms, such as bacteria or yeast, are unicellular—consisting only of a single cell—while others, for instance, mammalians, are multicellular.
