Quality of light is the limiting factor restricting phytoplankton to approximately the top ten feet of the ocean, rather than deeper

Explanation:

When sun rays pass through the water in the oceans, they are quickly diffused and cannot penetrate very deep into the deep water layers. Remember that phytoplanktons are photosynthetic organisms and hence require sunlight to manufacture their own food. They, therefore, cannot grwo in deeper layers of the oceans. They are only found in the photic zone.

The quality of light is especially of most importance and hence the major limiting factor. Red light, of longer wavelength, and which is the major wavelength of light that is used the most by photosynthetic organisms, diffuses very fast than blue light when it passes through water. Therefore the more reason phytoplankton is found in the top ten feet of the ocean, rather than deeper.

Skeletal muscles fibre are classified base on how the produce energy.

Explanation:

Skeletal muscles fibres consist of bundles of cells that form muscles which contain myobrills.

Type 1 or slow pitch muscle fibres are more efficient and last for a long period of time. They are use for postural maintenance or endurance. It use aerobic respiration to produce energy or ATP.

Along , with which the extinction of about 96 percent of life made it very difficult for the rest of the organisms to survive and thus there were now mutations happening inside the different organisms genome.Along, with that the way of reproduction was greatly changed inside the plants, as more effective form of flowering plants were evolved.
  • As, for the animals new species with the increase level of survival instinct were evolved from old simple ones across the globe.
