Fertilizers used to improve lawns and gardens can interfere with the equilibrium of an ecosystem. Why is this true? A They can be carried into local water supplies. B They cannot be absorbed by roots. C They cause mutations in all plants. D They can reduce atmospheric pollution.

Option A

Explanation:

The fertilizers that is being supplied into the plants contains huge amount of nitrogen and phosphorus in it. The extra fertilizers from the ground move to the nearby local water bodies.

These nutrients n water serves as the food for the algal and make them grow at higher growth rate.

They start consuming the oxygen in water and thus affecting the other aquatic animals found in water.

Because of this reason there is a disturbance in the equilibrium of ecosystem as if the aquatic animals will die there will be a decrease in the population of animals feeding on aquatic animals.  

succession returns a disturbed

ecosystem to a more stable state. this is also classified into two (2) types:

primary succession and secondary succession. the primary succession arises when

a new land is transformed and a bare rock has been exposed providing an environment

that can be occupied for the first time. while, secondary succession occurs

when a previously occupied environment was disturbed that kills much of all its

community
