Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

The amount of sunlight (daylight) earth receives is directly related to the tilt of the earth's imaginary rotation axis. The tilt of the earth is 23.5°. During the time of summer in the northern hemisphere, the tilt of the earth faces more towards the sun, and the sunlight is directly incident on it. So, the amount of daylight (or the duration of the day) is higher in summer.

On the other hand, during winter, the tilt of the sun faces opposite to the sun, so it receives a lesser amount of daylight, and so is cold during this time.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

Uniformitarians was concept borrowed from geology. How did Darwin apply it to biology?

KIM [24]

Answer: Uniformitarianism, states that the geological processes that take place today would have taken place in the past and it will continue in future as well.

Darwin suggested that the the evolution takes place over a period of time. It takes time to change and this change takes time.

Both the laws states the same thing, that the geological processes and the process of evolution takes place over a period of time and does not takes place rapidly.

Sorry about the other person I reported her answer.

The test that includes the trunk flexor of the endurance test is a timed test that involves the static isometric contraction of the muscles. This test stabilizes the spine til the individual cannot hold the assumed position and the individual exhibits the fatigue.

What is the likeliest limiting factor restricting phytoplankton to approximately the top ten feet of the ocean, rather than deep

serg [7]

Quality of light is the limiting factor restricting phytoplankton to approximately the top ten feet of the ocean, rather than deeper

Explanation:

When sun rays pass through the water in the oceans, they are quickly diffused and cannot penetrate very deep into the deep water layers. Remember that phytoplanktons are photosynthetic organisms and hence require sunlight to manufacture their own food. They, therefore, cannot grwo in deeper layers of the oceans. They are only found in the photic zone.

The quality of light is especially of most importance and hence the major limiting factor. Red light, of longer wavelength, and which is the major wavelength of light that is used the most by photosynthetic organisms, diffuses very fast than blue light when it passes through water. Therefore the more reason phytoplankton is found in the top ten feet of the ocean, rather than deeper.
