Biomass is a way to describe the overall amount of living organisms in an area. Using the figure below, choose the most likely r

eason for the decrease in biomass with an increase in depth and distance from the coast.

Answer:

The correct answer would be "there is a reduction in the availability of nutrients away from the cost, which decreases primary production. Fewer producers and energy are available, leading to a decrease in biomass".

As we move in depth and distance from the coast the availability of sunlight decreases.  

Thus, the number of primary producers would decrease as they would be unable to perform photosynthesis.

Consequently, the number of nutrients available at that depth would be very less as compared to the coast.

Hence, the carrying capacity of the region would be less which ultimately decreases the biomass.

After reading the paragraphs below, answer the questions that follow.

The evolution of H. floresiensis is an example of island dwarfism.

Explanation:

H. floresiensis is a species of hominid. It differs significantly than the other hominid species in size though, as it appears to be a dwarfed version of its ancestors and close relatives. Its alleged ancestor is literary twice taller, which brings in the question as to what has triggered such an evolutionary adaptation.

This hominid species lived only on a relatively small island, in isolation. The resources are very limited, and the climate is warm and humid all year around. As seen in many species of animals, when individuals get into such an environment, they tend to experience either island dwarfism, or island gigantism. The island dwarfism tends to be common among large and medium sized species, while the island gigantism tends to be more common among the small species.

When the ancestors of H. floresiensis ended up in this environment, it was advantageous for them to smaller. The reason for that is that smaller bodies require less nutrition, and are also producing less heat.
