Which outcome occurs when algal blooms reduce light penetration affecting submerged bladderwort patches?

A)Less bladder inflation via photosynthesis✓

B)Increased carnivory enzyme production rates

C)Greater methane production rates occur

D)Enhanced absorption of nitrogen compounds

💡 Explanation

Reduced light inhibits photosynthesis driving bladder inflation, limiting prey capture because decreased available light reduces oxygen production; therefore the bladders inflate less, rather than increased carnivory or methane production, which occur under different environmental stresses.
