Can you please answer #48? 

a. 6; carbon
D. 8,
Refer to the description and data below to answer the three questions that follow.
Dissolved oxygen levels from 3 bottles of algae were recorded. The DO level of bottle #1 was recorded
immediately after the algae was collected, the DO level of bottle #2 was recorded after sitting for 20
hours wrapped in tin-foil, and the DO level of bottle # 3 was recorded after sitting for 20 hours under a
lamp. A heat sink was placed over all of the bottles to ensure that temperature did not have an effect on
the results. The following data was collected:
Bottle Number
DO levels (ppm)
