Regarding biological productivity, what do you think is the best explanation for the trend in changing biomass shown in the figu

re below?
A.) This is best explained by an increase in the number of predators as you move away from the coast. The increase in predators decreases the number of organisms (i.e., biomass) at lower trophic levels.
B.) This is a best explained by a reduction in oxygen as one moves away from the coast. The reduction in oxygen limits aerobic cellular respiration and leads to a decrease in biomass as one moves away from the coast.
C.) This is best explained by a reduction in the availability of food as one moves away from the coast. Input of nutrients (from runoff and less commonly upwelling) fuels primary production, thus allowing a greater number of producers and energy availability for higher trophic levels.
D.) This is best explained by the great pressure at depth as one moves away from the coast. This pressure makes it harder for organisms to survive and thus reduces biomass away from the coast.

I think the answer is D
as A would mean that the abyssopelagic organisms would be best adapted and therefore a large biomass which isn't the case and it isn't B nor C so it must be D

Hope that helps

Answer:

The answer is D.

Explanation:

In geometry, parallel lines are lines in a plane which do not meet; that is, two lines in a plane that do not intersect or touch each other at any point are said to be parallel. By extension, a line and a plane, or two planes, in three-dimensional Euclidean space that do not share a point are said to be parallel.

You observe a tiny structure under a microscope.what question would ask and then investigate to determine whether the structure
anygoal [31]

Answer:

The question to be asked an investigated when observing a structure under the microscope to determine whether it is living is if it has a nucleus if eukaryote or nucleoid if prokaryote.

Explanation:

The major organelle that must be present in all living cells is the nucleus or nucleoid and the protoplasm. The observation of the cell under the microscope will show the subcellular entity, nucleus/nucleoid, more pronounced than other organelles in the cell. The nucleus house the necessary information for the maintenance and reproduction, which is mainly the genetic information that dictates the translational protein products that are needed to build another aspect of the cells. Therefore, when such a tiny structure is placed under the light microscope under the view of oil immersion, the nucleus of the cell should be visible if it is a living structure.
