nikklg [1K]

Explanation:

photosynthesis

mutualism

decomposers

chemotrophs

photosynthesis:

Photosynthetic bacteria use the energy of the sun to make their own food. In the presence of sunlight, carbon dioxide and water are turned into glucose and oxygen. The glucose is then turned into usable energy

mutualism:

Some bacteria depend on other organisms for survival. For example, some bacteria live in the roots of legumes, such as pea plants. The bacteria turn nitrogen-containing molecules into nitrogen that the plant can use.

decomposers:

Bacteria known as decomposers break down wastes and dead organisms into smaller molecules. These bacteria use the organic substrates they break down to get their energy, carbon, and nutrients they need for survival.

houses have been built around a small retention pond, increasing the fertilizer runoff into the pond. This has led to algal bloo
Andrei [34K]

<span>Algae blooms are the consequence of large amounts of fertilizers in the water. Algae use the presence of increased nutrients and enhance their own growth. It is known that they produce an oxygen in the photosynthesis, so it is not a problem while they are still alive. But when these organisms die, their decomposition begins. For the process of decomposition, the oxygen is needed and ultimately it will be depleted from a body of water. This could lead to the death of aquatic animals that depend on oxygen. So, in the population will survive only those who are able deal with the lack of oxygen in the water</span>
