Nutrients in lakes can cause eutrophication. What happens is that the nutrients cause the algae to grow excessively. As it dies, bacteria consume it using up large amounts of oxygen dissolved in the water. Aquatic creatures that rely on dissolved oxygen (fish) die.

How does the amount of water affect a plants life?

If you give the plant too much water, it will drown and clear out all the nutrients. If you give the plant too little water, then it will not get the nutrients it needs because it goes through a process where the water helps it make and food and nutrients because the plant will die with too little food or nutrients. Hope that helped!

How does pollution affect the population growth of euglena?

Pollution affects the growth of euglena by two simple aspects; sunlight and nutrients. The euglena can no longer obtain sunlight through the water if pollution is causing the water to become too polluted for sunlight to break through. Since the euglena can also absorb nutrients through the cell membrane, pollution can contaminate the nutrients that the euglena needs for survival, both ultimately causing the prevention of the euglena from creating or obtaining food.


How do I get calcium in my plant water?

Too much calcium will result in a high pH. This will cause the nutrients to become too concentrated and they will eventually kill the plant.


What are the problems with too much nitrogen in the soil?

Too much nitrogen in the soil can lead to nutrient imbalances, reducing the availability of other essential nutrients for plants. It can also contribute to water pollution through runoff, causing algal blooms and harming aquatic ecosystems. Additionally, excess nitrogen can result in the loss of soil fertility over time.


What is bad about overpopulation?

What would happen if there was too much nitrogen and other nutrient released in the air?

Excessive release of nitrogen and other nutrients into the air can lead to nutrient pollution. This can result in harmful algal blooms, decreased oxygen levels in water bodies (eutrophication), and negative impacts on aquatic ecosystems. Additionally, in the atmosphere, excess nitrogen can contribute to air pollution and acid rain.
