yeah i did that one wrong too.......... thing is when the layers of algae grow, the lower layers die, fall to the bottom, and decompose............ In the decomposition process, they use up oxygen, so it comes firstanyway, whats the answer to the other question. aquatic plant dont die without oxygen. they can produce it themselves but when aquatic plant die bacteria decompose them by aerobic respiration and oxygen decreases.
