MULTIPLE CHOICE Question 8 How do phosphate-containing fertilizers and detergents lead to low-oxygen "dead zones" in nearby bodies of water? A. Phosphorus is an effective fertilizer but is toxic in large amounts, leading to wide-scale die-offs of aquatic animals. The microbes that decompose the dead organisms also re- quire large amounts of oxygen. B. Phosphorus is a substance used as an industrial solvent, leading to both air and water pollution. It causes acid rain, leading to low pH and low oxygen in bodies of water. C. Phosphorus is a chemical used as a pesticide, leading to contamination of water by agri- cultural runoff. When it accumulates in water, it reduces the amount of oxygen. D. Phosphorus is a nutrient that can cause algal blooms, leading to the deaths of aquatic plants that are no longer able to photosynthesize. The process of decay of the plants and algae uses up a great deal of the available oxygen.
