Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) is-

1. Amount of oxygen required by bacteria to decompose organic matter in a certain volume of a sample of water.
2. Amount of CO2 required by bacteria to decompose organic matter in a certain volume of a sample of water.
3. Amount of O3 required by bacteria to decompose organic matter in a certain volume of a sample of water.
4.  None of the above

Biochemical oxygen Demand value less than 5 ppm indicates a water sample to be : 

1. Highly polluted.

2. Poor in dissolved oxygen.

3. Rich in dissolved oxygen.

4. Not suitable for aquatic life.

 Phytoplanktons kill the fish because :

1. Phytoplanktons decrease the BOD level that causes the death of fish.
2. Phytoplanktons increase the BOD level that causes the death of fish.
3. Phytoplanktons reduce the amount of dissolved CO2.
4. None of the above.
