Is oxygen consumed when aerobic bacteria break down dead algae in a pond?

Yes, oxygen is consumed by the aerobic bacteria in degrading the dead algae. Oxygen is used by bacteria in aerobic respiration. Lots of energy needed for degradation of organic matter in to inorganic comes from cellular respiration of bacterial cells.

What is the role of algae bacteria symbiosis in oxidation pond?
Oxidation Ponds treat wastewater through the interaction of sunlight, bacteria and algae. Algae grow using energy from the sun and carbon dioxide and inorganic compounds released by bacteria in water. During the process of photosynthesis, the algae release oxygen needed by aerobic bacteria. Again bacteria digest sewage by decomposing it and releases CO2 and inorganic compounds needed for growth of algae. Thus Sewage is digested by bacteria by decomposing it. The cycle and relation between bacteria and algae for food is known as algae bacteria symbiosis.
Plants algae animals and bacteria use oxygen for?
respiration
What do plants algae and bacteria use oxygen for?
I Think I Will Go With Transpiration!
What produces oxygen other than plants?
Algae, protists, phytoplankton and bacteria.
When algae dies an dis consumed by bacteria. what important gas gets taken out of the water?
co2 is taken out of the water
Which two processes are responsible for keeping the percentage of atmospheric oxygen the constant levels?
Oxygen is produced by plants and blue-green algae and consumed by burning and animals breathing.
What is the major cause of low desolved oxygen in the natural cause of fish kills?
The commonest cause of a fish kill is an Aerobic Bacterial bloom. The sequence is commonly caused by firstly high amounts of runoff carrying fertilisers to the river caused by high rainfall or storms. This supply of extra plant food encourages algaes to form and bloom. These algaes then use up this excess food, bloom and die. Aerobic bacteria are then needed to decompose the dead algae and the oxygen demand of the bacteria depletes the oxygen in the water resulting in a fish kill.
Which two processes are responsible for keeping the percentage of atmospheric oxygen at relatively constant levels?
Oxygen is produced by plants and blue-green algae and consumed by burning and animals breathing.
The main photoautotrophs in aquatic environments are?
algae and bacteria.
What bacterias produces oxygen?
Cyanobacteria or blue-algae are microbes that produce oxygen through the process of photosynthesis. Some scientists believe that these bacteria were the first to produce oxygen on Earth.
Is algae bigger then bacteria?
Yes because algae is a plant and bacteria is a animal cell. Because bacteria has cytoplasam which helps it grow
Is spirochaete bacteria or algae?
Bacteria
