The Chesapeake Bay faces many issues that affect the water, animals, and environment. Which issue causes a loss of energy in the food chain due to the lack of growth of bottom-dwellers; like worms and clams? A.) a catalyst

B.) Bubbling in oxygen

C.) Decreasing the temperature

D.) Adding more hydrogen peroxide

The correct choice here is D)

Explanation:

Addition more hydrogen peroxide into the environment can damage or kill bottom-dweller such as worms and clams.

Let us take a look at the worms.

When worms come in contact with Hydrogen peroxide, experience extensive cellular trauma, including damaging proteins, DNA, and other molecules in their body. This can be very damaging.

Studies also show that worms stop eating both when they taste hydrogen peroxide. If they don't eat, they die off. When this happens the food chain is affected.
