Question

question 10 multiple choice worth 4 points which characteristic best explains why algae blooms are more likely to grow out of control in lakes instead of rivers? photosynthetic organisms can grow undisturbed in sunlit, nutrient - rich lakes. more photosynthetic organisms are found in lakes than in rivers. rivers have lower nutrient and dissolved oxygen levels than lakes. lakes have higher turbidity, which is preferred by photosynthetic organisms.

Explanation:

Lakes are often more stagnant, allowing photosynthetic algae to accumulate nutrients and grow without the water movement of rivers that can disperse them. Sunlight and nutrients are key for algal growth.

Answer:

Photosynthetic organisms can grow undisturbed in sunlit, nutrient - rich lakes.
