Which of these statements describes an accurate model for how carbon dioxide and oxygen levels change within the ocean over time? Choose two answers that apply. A) eutrophication of the ocean leads to an increase in dissolved oxygen. B) photosynthesis by the phytoplankton increase the oxygen concentration of the ocean. C) decomposition of dead organic matter decreases the oxygen concentration in the ocean. D) cellular respiration by primary consumers increases the oxygen concentration in the ocean E) anaerobic respiration at the ocean floor decreases the carbon dioxide levels in the ocean
State whether the following is True or False of the process of eutrophication from the overuse of fertilizers.

Please select the correct sequence of steps involved in the creation of a dead zone in a water body. 1. Heterotrophic microbes metabolize the organic compounds synthesized by primary producers. 2. Water becomes hypoxic and toxic algal blooms may occur; animals in the area either flee or die. 3. Water accumulates nutrients as it runs through agricultural, industrial, and urbanized regions. 4. Dissolved O2 is consumed by metabolic activity of heterotrophs. 5. Excess nitrate and phosphate in nutrient-rich water causes algae and cyanobacteria to flourish.
