Duckweed as a nutrient thief and bioremediator Hypothesis: This experiment will evaluate duckweed and its ability to remove nutrients and toxins from water sources. Thus‚ duckweed will kill the organisms that require similar nutrients‚ yet aid the organisms that would otherwise die to toxins. Specifically‚ if one was to place Elodea plants in a tank with duckweed‚ then the Elodea will die due to the lack of nutrients from the duckweed having used the nutrients for its own benefits.
