Phytoplankton form the base of food webs, but are only present in the upper few hundred meters of the ocean. A number of factors
here can limit their growth and hence limit the amount of biomass in higher trophic levels. Which of the items below is not one of these limiting factors to phytoplankton?
Phytoplanktons are responsible for the fixation of approximately half of the global carbon therefore seawater has high CO2 concentration which is required by phytoplanktons to make their food.
They are the primary producers of oceans and they are responsible to support the food chain of oceans. Factors that can limit their growth are mainly sunlight and nutrients like phosphorus, nitrogen, etc.
As phytoplanktons are photosynthetic they release oxygen itself as a byproduct therefore oxygen is not a limiting factor to phytoplanktons. So the right answer is d.
Platelets often referred to as thrombocytes, are membrane-bounded cell fragments that are obtained from the dissociation of bigger precursor cells referred to as megakaryocytes, that are produced from stem cells in the bone marrow.
Platelets are necessary for the blood clotting activities, making it very important for wound healing.
ransfer RNA (tRNA) – a type of RNA that is folded into a three-dimensional structure. tRNA carries and transfers an amino acid to the polypeptide chain being assembled during translation. translation – the process in which a cell converts genetic information carried in an mRNA molecule into a protein.
