In a pond or lake the limiting factor that may affect the growth of algae is the level dissolved?

Phosphate


In a pond or a lake the limiting factor that may affect the growth of algae is the level of dissolved?

my bio book (human body systems -structure, function, and environment) says the limiting factor is Phosphate (page 124 under ecosystems)


What is the limiting nutrient for algae growth phosphorus nitrogen or carbon?

Phosphorus is often the limiting nutrient for algae growth in freshwater environments. Nitrogen and carbon can also play important roles in algae growth, but phosphorus is typically the key nutrient that restricts their proliferation.


Why do chemical fertilizers provide nutrients to algae?

Fertilizers contain high concentrations of nitrogen, a limiting nutrient for algae.


Why is sunlight a limiting factor for the aquatic ecosystem?

Sunlight is a limiting factor for the aquatic ecosystem because it is essential for photosynthesis to occur in aquatic plants and algae, which form the base of the food chain. Decreased sunlight penetration due to water depth, turbidity, or shading from vegetation can limit the growth of aquatic plants and algae, ultimately impacting the entire ecosystem.


What can happen after a lake received a large input of a limiting nutrient?

An algae bloom occurs.


What are the harmful effects of fungi and algae?

Poison


In a pond or lake the limiting factor that may affect the growth of algae is the level of dissolved?

nutrients, particularly nitrogen and phosphorus. High levels of dissolved nutrients can lead to excessive algae growth, a phenomenon known as eutrophication, which can have negative impacts on water quality and ecosystem health. Controlling nutrient inputs can help manage algae growth in aquatic systems.


What is an immediate increase in the amount of algae and other producers that result from a large input of a limiting nutrient?

This is known as an algal bloom. The sudden increase in nutrients like nitrogen or phosphorus can lead to rapid growth of algae, which can create harmful effects in aquatic ecosystems such as depleting oxygen levels and harming other organisms.


What are the cause and effects of Eutrophication?

Massive production of Algae

Is algae a aboitic factor?

Abiotic means the non-living contributor in a given ecosystem. Algae is a living protist (not plant) and thus is a biotic factor.
