Fertilizer runoff has a negative impact on aquatic ecosystems because
a. it causes plants and algae to grow quickly, suffocating organisms in the water
b. phosphorus is not found in nature
c. phosphorus is poisonous to living organisms
d. living organisms do not require phosphorus in order to survive

The answer is a. it causes plants and algae to grow quickly, suffocating organisms in the water. The rapid growth of organisms due to fertilizer runoff leads to a process called eutrophication. When the vegetation dies, the process of decomposition leads to the formation of excessive amounts of carbon dioxide, which in turn suffocates aquatic animals.

answer: the missing item in the given reaction is

explanation:

beta-minus decay is defined as the decay process in which beta particle is released. it can also be said that a neutron gets converted into a proton and an electron. the beta particle released does not carry any mass but carries a charge of -1 units.

the chemical equation representing beta decay process is:

for the given chemical reaction:
