Question
Chapter 38, Problem 11WIO
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The change in pyramid of energy when in a eutrophic lake, algae are abundant and dissolve oxygen levels are low.
Concept introduction:
A eutrophic lake is a water body which has high biological productivity due to excessive nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus. These water bodies support an abundant growth of aquatic plant or algae. Energy pyramid is a graphical representation of energy flow in a community. Energy pyramid has different levels and each level represents different group of organism.
