Recall that humans have drastically increased the amount of ammonia (NH₃) that is generated from nitrogen gas (N₂), and NH₃ can be utilized by organisms to build organic compounds. What may be a result of excess human-produced NH₃?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All three options are potential results of excess human-produced NH₃. Excess NH₃-based fertilizers can increase crop yields, but if not used appropriately, they can also accumulate in bodies of water and cause eutrophication (an overgrowth of plants and algae that depletes oxygen and harms aquatic life). Therefore, all of the options presented are correct.
