Which of the following consequences can result from algae and bacteria growing too quickly?

The correct answer is D) nutrients are taken away from fish and animals.

The consequences that can result from algae and bacteria growing too quickly is that nutrients are taken away from fish and animals.

This could affect the ecosystem because if nutrients are less, fish cannot receive enough nutrients for its daily diet. Marine bloom or algae bloom is the constant increase in the population of algae in lakes or seas. This is the result of an excess of nutrients in the water. Bacteria increase in number and use the oxygen in the water. When oxygen reduces in water, fish die.

The other options of the question were a) the fish can grow larger, b) animals reproduce at a faster rate, and c) new toxins are released into the water.
