Answer:

Deep scattering layer, DSL

Explanation:

The deep scattering layer (DSL) also known as "<em>deep sound layer</em>", refers to an oceanic deep layer, more or less defined, that reflects sound and that is formed by a wide variety of animals. It is present in almost every ocean. It is produced by the presence of many organisms of different species that can disperse the sonar waves sent by a sonar equipment.

It was discovered through the ships´ sonar. Whenever they met a layer in which the sound hit, and was often confused with the bottom of the ocean. This is why the DSL is refered to as the "fake bottom".

These animals form layers of not less than 10 meters thick and might easily reach up to 50 meters thick. These layers are often found between 50 and 200 meters deep and can be seen going up and down every day according to the daily vertical migration.

As the individual body size of an organism increases, the population density for this organism in a given habitat tends to decrease.

  <span>It has been shown that an inverse relationship between the size of an animal and its local abundance exist. Animals with larger body size have higher energetic requirements, resource exploitation, and susceptibility to predation and thus the competition is bigger. Yet, the density–body size relation depends on the physical complexity of the habitat and population of a species.</span>

vlada-n [284]

Answer;

-Chitin is a structural carbohydrate that forms their exoskeleton


Explanation;

-Chitin is the main component in the exoskeletons of arthropods and crustaceans and is also in the cell walls of fungi.

-It is a linear long chain polymer consisting of repeated units of N-acetyl-glucosamine.

-The main function of the chitin-containing exoskeleton is to keep the inner soft tissue safe from any sort of injury and also prevents the delicate tissues from drying (acts as a water tight barrier against dehydration).
