Answer:

D. Increased sunlight and increased nutrients will increase phytoplankton populations.

Explanation:

Both sunlight and nutrients are required by phytoplankton communities. We know that <u>phytoplanktons</u> are <u>primary producers</u> and they produce food via <u>photosynthetic activities</u>. To carry out photosynthesis, <u>presence of (inorganic) nutrients and sunlight is highly important</u>. In this process, energy is fixed in energy rich molecules such as glucose and organism multiply and/or gain biomass. A decrease in any of them will result into reduced photosynthesis and hence reduced phytoplankton population growth.

What is the best description foro mechanical waves
Nataly [62]
It's basically a wave that moves back and forth at regular speed through matter. because of that it transfers energy through a medium (matter). however the movement of the wave is limited because of this but it can still move over long distances. so because of this these types of waves don't move far from their original point or Equilibrium position. in short think of throwing a pebble into water and seeing the little ripples from it, that's a mechanical wave.
