A. the fish would grow larger than usual

B. the zooplankton population would increase

C. the plants would increase in size but decrease in number

D. the plant populations would be reduced

Respuesta :

Answer:

D. The plant population would be reduced.

Explanation:

The most likely result of an accidental spill of these compounds in an aquatic environment is that the plant populations would be reduced. Thus, the correct option is D.

What is Photosynthesis?

Photosynthesis may be defined as the process through which green plants and some photosynthetic algae synthesize their own food (glucose) with the help of carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight.

The excess of copper in the aquatic environment may lead to the replacement of magnesium in chlorophylls which inhibits the termination of energy from chlorophyll to the photosystem II.  

This excess of copper may also be directly involved in the inhibition of the reaction center in photosystem II. This overall affects the rate of photosynthesis through which the plant populations would be reduced.

Therefore, the correct option for this question is D.
