Gustaf and Eloise are conducting an investigation using their MAE (model aquatic ecosystem) tank. They removed all of the plants, leaving only the fish in the tank. They will measure the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide over the next several weeks for changes.

What is most likely to happen in their tanks over the next several weeks?

(Select 2 Answers)

a)

Oxygen levels will increase (go up) as the fish make glucose/sugar and release (give off) oxygen.

b)

Oxygen levels will decrease (go down) as the fish take in oxygen and make ATP/energy.

c)

Carbon dioxide levels will increase (go up) as the fish make ATP/energy and release (give off) carbon dioxide..

d)

Carbon dioxide levels will decrease (go down) as the fish take in carbon dioxide and make glucose/sugar.
