Why does the level of dissolved oxygen go down after sunset in a pond?

• Because of increased water temperature

• Due to the absence of sunlight for photosynthesis

• Because fish consume more oxygen at night

• Due to the fishing poles being removed from the pond

Which statement best describes the relationship between dissolved oxygen levels and the presence of trout, based on the data?

• Higher levels of dissolved oxygen are associated with the presence of trout.

• Trout are found in ponds with the lowest levels of dissolved oxygen.

• The number of trout is unaffected by the levels of dissolved oxygen.

• Trout are more numerous in ponds with farms.

According to the activity, how does temperature affect the concentration of dissolved oxygen in water?

• Temperature does not affect the concentration of dissolved oxygen.

• Higher temperatures increase the concentration of dissolved oxygen.

• Lower temperatures increase the concentration of dissolved oxygen.

• The concentration of dissolved oxygen is the same regardless of temperature.
