Answer: The correct answer for the blank is C. In the photic zone.

Photic zone is the superficial zone of the water body where sunlight penetrates and allows photosynthesis. Phytoplanktons are the microscopic plants found in the photic zone of aquatic bodies and considered as the primary producers in the food chain. It is also called the epipelagic zone ( uppermost layer of pelagic).

As light penetrates the photic zone, phytoplankton can easily synthesize food by performing photosynthesis.

Pelagic, benthic, and abyssal are zones of the ocean in their increasing depth order.

Thus, the correct answer is C. In the photic zone.

Because global temperatures are ________[1], some species are seeking out ______[2] elevations in the Himalayas to colonize. Sci

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

increasing[1], higher[2], space[3], food[4], climate change[5].

Explanation:

Because global temperatures are increasing[1], some species are seeking out higher[2] elevations in the Himalayas to colonize. Scientists were worried that these organisms would not have enough space[3] to live, but they have found that there is adequate food[4] at higher elevations. This movement may help these organisms survive the effects of climate change[5].

(Although am positive about 1, 2 and 5, you will need to double check 3 and 4. What I can tell you is that I don't think lifespan has to do with 3 or 4. I chose space and food simply due to the thought that more species moving to higher elevations allows for less space to live, but more prey to be hunted easier.)

Identify an organism that is present in your local ecosystem, and discuss two limiting factors that may affect this organism.

Verdich [7]

Limiting factors of an ecosystem include disease, severe climate and weather changes, predator-prey relationships, commercial development, environmental pollution and more. An excess or depletion of any one of these limiting factors can degrade and even destroy a habitat.
