Answer:

The right answer is D. The benthic zone

Explanation:

The limnetic and the littoral zone all get a lot of sunlight so there are a lot of plant life. The pelagic zone hosts a variety of plant species so this cannot be the correct answer. That leaves us with the benthic zone.

Benthic meaning inhabiting bottom areas or substrates. Plant life at the bottom is very scarce but there are a lot of insect species.

Which kind of organism does not generally require oxygen or sunlight to live?

gregori [183]

Answer is A.

Archaea requires neither sunlight for photosynthesis as do plants, nor oxygen. Archaea absorbs CO2, N2, or H2S and gives off methane gas as a waste product the same way humans breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide. An example is chemosynthetic bacteria by sea drifts. They use chemical energy to produce vital processes to live.

cupoosta [38]

Answer;

Explanation;

-Coral reefs are important for many different reasons aside from supposedly containing the most diverse ecosystems on the planet.

a) influences the function of only one lobe of the pituitary gland.

b) synthesizes all of the hormones produced by the pituitary gland.

c) regulates both reproduction and body temperature.

d) produces only inhibitory hormones.

Answer:

C) Regulates both reproduction and body temperature.

Explanation:

The hypothalamus is a small but important area in the center of the brain. It plays an important role in hormone production and helps to stimulate many important processes in the body and is located in the brain, between the pituitary gland and thalamus.

The hypothalamus’ main role is to keep the body in homeostasis as much as possible.

Homeostasis means a healthful, balanced bodily state.

The hypothalamus acts as the link between the endocrine and nervous systems to achieve this. It plays a part in many essential functions of the body such as: body temperature, thirst, appetite and weight control, emotions, sex drive, blood pressure and heart rate, production of digestive juices and balancing bodily fluids.

1. How can we identify a market for vegetables? Write.

Ratling [72]

Marketing is one of the most important factors in determining the success of any fruit and vegetable farming enterprise. Marketing includes all the operations and decisions made by producers. These decisions range from deter-mining the most marketable crops for production to deciding how to best deliver quality produce to the consumers at a profit. However, contrary to popular belief, marketing does not begin after a crop is produced. Instead, marketing alternatives need to be considered even before production takes place.

Recent environmental and food safety concerns in the United States produce sector have brought about increasing interest in organic fruit and vegetable production as an alternative to traditional fruit and vegetable enterprises. As a result, the production and marketing of organic crops has expanded steadily during the 1980s. However, as more organic producers enter the industry and it becomes more and more competitive, existing producers are forced to become better growers and more effective marketers.
