If the biochemical oxygen demand (bod) of a lake is very high, how will that affect the aquatic life in the lake? view available hint(s) if the biochemical oxygen demand (bod) of a lake is very high, how will that affect the aquatic life in the lake? there will be more oxygen available for the aquatic life but much less oxygen available to the microbial populations. there will be less oxygen available for the aquatic life due to the microbial activity. there will be more oxygen available for the aquatic life due to the microbial activity. the bod does not have an impact on available oxygen in the lake.

The answer is ‘there will be less oxygen available for the aquatic life due to the microbial activity’. Too much microbial activity utilizes the oxygen dissolved in the water hence making the waters anoxic. This occurs especially after algae blooms. When the algae grow exponentially and later die, microbes that oxidize the organic matter for energy utilize the oxygen and cause dissolved oxygen in the water to deplete. This hence suffocates other aquatic life.

the correct answer would be 6 feet.

if the type of the food available changes, then the frequency of beak types will change, because birds with beaks more suited to the available food will be more successful over time.
