<u>Answer:</u>
- few nutrients
- high pressure
- low temperatures
<u>Explanation:</u>
1. Few nutrients: open-ocean zone is located way far from the land, which is the main source of the essential nutrients.
2. High pressure: pressure increases by 1 atmosphere for every 10 meters increase in depth.
3. Ample sunlight: a large fraction of the sunlight is reflected back to the atmosphere from the sea surface.
4. Varying salinity: below the thermocline, the water is isolated from the atmosphere so the salinity remains stable over the year.
5. Low temperatures: the temperature of open-ocean zone ranges from a low of -2°C to an average of 17°C.
Answer:
The correct answer would be the option B.
The carrying capacity of an ecosystem refer to the maximum number of plants, animals, insects, and crops an ecosystem can support without getting any degradation.
Carrying capacity of different species may vary within an ecosystem.
It is determined by different factors such as food availability, shelter, water supply, et cetera.
Different stars are different colors depending on the temperature. So, for example, a blue star is hotter than a yellow star such as our Sun.
Answer:
It's 3!
Explanation:
There must be genetic differences so the best fitted organisms will survive. If they were all the same then no one would be best fitted and Natural Selection wouldn't be able to occur
It's not 1 because a food shortage isn't required, there's always competition for food sources
It's not 2 because there doesn't need to be a change in the environment for natural selection, just for evolution.
And it can't be 4 if 1 and 2 are wrong!
Hope this helped!
