This question either has a very simple answer or it is something much more complex. However, if an organism (think a certain species fish for example) wants to survive under water, it needs to stay in such water that corresponds to a certain degree of salinity, similar to the one of its native environment.

In short - salinity determines what living things can survive in it.

The most important factor which determines whether the living things can survive in a body of water s its salinity. The salinity level of the water is the factor at play in deciding which of the living organisms live inside the water. The salinity of the organisms has to be similar to the salinity level of the water in order for them to survive, otherwise, they will be dehydrated as a result of osmosis.

Hence, the answer is 'salinity'.

explain why a continuous increase in carbon dioxide levels will not cause the rate of photosynthesis to increase continuously?​
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

An increase in the amount of CO2 well increase the rate of photosynthesis, Carbon dioxide concentration will directly affect the rate of photosynthesis as it is used in the photosynthesis reaction.Increased amount of CO2 will increase the rate of photosynthesis to a certain limit, after which a further increase in its amount will no longer increase the rate any further. This is when the other factors necessary for photosynthesis, such as light, become "limiting reactants"; that is, those other factors also need to increase to bring about a further increase in the rate.

six molecules of water plus six molecules of carbon dioxide produce one molecule of sugar plus six molecules of oxygen

An increase in the amount of water leads to the increase in the amount of photosynthesis

The amount of water available to the plant will affect the rate of photosynthesis. If the plant does not have enough water, the plant's stomata will shut and the plant will be deprived of CO², and thus lower photosynthesis rate.

An increase in the amount of light well increase the amount of photosynthesis, if the light intensity increases the rate of the reaction will increase at a proportional rate until a certain level is reached, the rate of increases will then go down.

Other factors affecting the rate of photosynthesis :

1. Temperature

2. The availability of nutrients

What is the name given to the original finch that diverged in to 15 different species? A. Darwin's finch B. Radiant finch C. Anc
Nataly [62]
The appropriate answer is C. ANCESTRAL FINCH. The study of these birds on the Galapagos island led to Darwin proposing his theory of natural selection. Darwin collect and preserved samples of the finches he observed while on his travels.
He did not observe anything unique about the birds until after he returned home. He focused on the differences in the beaks of the birds. It is then that he started to work on his revolutionary theory.
