Answer:

The populations of marsh snails and painted turtles will be depleted in size.

Explanation:

The given food chain is:

phytoplankton-----> marsh snails ---->painted turtles.

Since pollution has resulted in the depletion of phytoplankton, marsh snail population will be reduced in size due to unavailability or scarcity of their food  (phytoplankton). Similarly, the reduced population size of marsh snail would result in food scarcity for painted turtles. Therefore, the population size of painted turtles would also be reduced.

Nitrates are made by converting ammonia (NH3) to nitrite (NO2-) and then to nitrate (NO3-). What do you predict the O2 levels in
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

Low - The generation of nitrates (NO 3-) requires oxygen, so the oxygen levels will be low

Explanation:

Nitrates are formed when the ammonia react with oxygen present in water. The oxygen which react with ammonia is not the oxygen of water molecule, it is the dissolved oxygen. This oxygen is used by aquatic animals for breathing. If nitrates are formed so the concentration of dissolved oxygen will be lowered which causes suffocation and bad impact on marine organisms and the whole ecosystem will be disturbed.
