Q5.4. Researchers conducted an experiment to determine whether nitrogen or phosphorus is limiting algal growth in a lake. They estimated algal population size under the baseline input level for each nutrient (1X), as well as when nutrient input was doubled (2X), tripled (3X), and quadrupled (4X). Based on their results, which are plotted below, which nutrient (if any) is limiting algal growth? Algal population size 100- 80- 60- 40 20- 0+ 0 3 2 Nitrogen Input (X baseline) Submit Algal population size 80- 60- 40- 20- 0+ 0 2 3 4 Phosphorus Input (X baseline) Algal growth is limited by nitrogen. Algal growth is limited by phosphorus. Algal growth is not limited by either nutrient. There is not enough data to determine what limits algal growth. 5
