    Study Notes

    Algae Blooms

    • Algae blooms can deplete oxygen levels.
    • Excessive algae growth can harm organisms.
    • Cellular respiration not allowing oxygen.
    • Mono cultures/species richness is a concern.
    • Many species are vulnerable to disease.
    • The number 3 appears in multiple contexts, possibly signifying a critical threshold or stage.
