The burning of fossil fuels and other human activities are contributing to
increasing carbon dioxide levels in the ocean. In one ocean ecosystem,
the change in carbon dioxide levels is causing an increase in the algae
population and a decrease in the phytoplankton population. Algae and
phytoplankton both produce energy through the process of
photosynthesis. Which of the following describes how human activity will
likely affect this ocean ecosystem?*
o
It will increase biodiversity of producers.
It will improve water quality.
It will stabilize ocean temperatures.
It will alter marine food webs.
