Answer: The growth of algal bloom in the nearby water bodies of the agricultural fields due to excess of the nutrients is called as eutrophication.

This is caused due to the excessive use of fertilizers in the fields. The excess of fertilizers gets run off to the nearby water bodies which lead to the growth of the algae.

The algae forms a layer on the upper surface of the water that decreases the oxygen concentration in the water that adversely affects the life of other aquatic life forms in it.

Amino acids are the molecules that are involved in the formation of proteins. They have an amino group as well as a carboxylic group attached to the same alpha-carbon. There are 22 amino acids in the body that are involved in protein synthesis.
