<span>The upper intertidal zone is the part of the shore that is covered by water only at high tide. The sublittoral zone is the shallow part of the ocean extending out to the edge of the continental shelf, that is, the part where sunlight penetrates all the way to the sea floor. Of the two, the upper intertidal zone features a greater diversity of species, perhaps because its sometimes harsh and changeable environment presents a greater variety of niches and requires a greater variety of adaptation in order to ensure survival.</span>

The correct option is this: THERE IS MORE BIODIVERSITY IN THE SUBLITTORIAL ZONE COMPARE TO THE UPPER INTERTIDAL ZONE BECAUSE THERE IS LESS TEMPERATURE VARIATION IN THIS REGION.
The sublittorial zone refers to the part of the ocean that is about 200 meters away from the surface. The zone is characterized by constant temperature as a result of the constant sunlight that reaches the depth; this leads to more biodiversity in this zone.

Answer:

A) Light pollution both attracts and repels migratory birds

In addition to the many hazards that exist in urban areas, cities typically lack the food resources and cover that birds need during migration or when raising their young. ... Darkening skies at night during migration season makes it easier for birds to navigate.

Explanation:

Migration carries high costs in predation and mortality, including from hunting by humans, and is driven primarily by availability of food. It occurs mainly in the northern hemisphere, where birds are funneled on to specific routes by natural barriers such as the Mediterranean Sea or the Caribbean Sea.

Why might it be beneficial for each firefly species to have its own unique light pattern?
AVprozaik [17]
<span>Fireflies use the bioluminescence to attract mates for mating hence key in reproduction. Therefore, beetles from different species should have different lighting patterns so that they can only attract mates of the same species. This would avoid interspecies mating which would probably involved expending energy in produce nonviable offspring which is inefficient (hence will be unfavoured natural selection).    </span>

Cell is incredibly small and we still hasn't 100% figured out their perfect mechanism yet. New technology might found the new substance that alter the cell's theory as a whole
