Question 29 • * FL-2001340-Environmental Science Sem 2

Which of the following does not lead to an increase in phytoplankton reproduction?

Answer
A
increased nutrient availability
B
increased sunlight
C
increased oxygen levels
D
increased levels of carbon dioxide

Explanation

Phytoplankton use nutrients, sunlight, and carbon dioxide to grow and reproduce, so increases in those resources can support more reproduction. Oxygen is a product of photosynthesis rather than a resource that typically drives phytoplankton growth. Therefore, increased oxygen levels do not lead to an increase in phytoplankton reproduction.
