← Nature & AnimalsWhich environmental result arises when high phosphate limits nitrogenase activity?
A)Reduced phytoplankton bloom size✓
B)Enhanced coral bleaching event
C)Increased deep-sea chemosynthesis
D)Expanded mangrove forest propagation
💡 Explanation
Reduced bloom size occurs with limited nitrogenase activity because nitrogen fixation depends on this enzyme; therefore, in phosphate-limited ocean regions, less fixed nitrogen slows phytoplankton growth, promoting less robust productivity, rather than other geographically limited photosynthetic benefits.
