Phytoplankton are producers that can live in pond ecosystems. The number of phytoplankton in a pond can be regulated by water temperature, amount of sunlight, water depth, and nutrient load of surface water. Carbon dioxide production in pond water is being studied by researchers because carbon dioxide and water combine to form weakly acidic carbonic acid.

B. Photosynthesis will decrease, which will result in a release of carbon dioxide by the phytoplankton and an increase in pond acidity.

C. Photosynthesis will increase, which will cause the phytoplankton to absorb more carbon dioxide, resulting in a decrease in pond acidity.

D. Photosynthesis will increase, which will cause the phytoplankton to absorb more carbon dioxide, resulting in an increase in pond acidity.
