Answer:

A) The deeper layers are too dark for photosynthesis to occur.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a unique process to autotophic organisms. It involves the use of light energy from the sun to manufacture organic molecules (food). As the phenomenon implies i.e. PHOTO - LiGHT, light is an unnegotiable requirement for photosynthesis to take place. Autotrophs are able to perform this process because they contain pigments (Chlorophyll) that can trap energy from sunlight.

In an aquatic ecosystem, phytoplanktons and other photosynthetic organisms like aquatic plants are the autotophic organisms. They are found in the upper layer of the water so that they can reach light from the sun. The light from the sun cannot travel deep down the water making the deep parts of the ocean be deprived of light.

This is the reason why photosynthetic organisms cannot be found in the deep parts of the water as they will be unable to have access to the light from the sun in order to perform photosynthesis.

Answer: alternative A

Explanation: The deeper the layer in water, the <u>less light reaches it</u>. In deeper layers, therefore, it becomes difficult, if not impossible, to photosynthesis to occur. Having in mind that <u>phytoplankton  and photosynthetic organisms depend on photosynthesis to survive,</u> they won't appear in such dephts.

In which type of rock would you find a large amount of silica?
____ [38]

Answer:

igneous

Explanation:

Igneous rock is the type of rock that contains a large amount of silica. Igneous rocks are formed when molten rock (magma or lava) cools and solidifies. Silica is a common component of magma, so igneous rocks are often rich in silica. Glass, which is also made from silica, is not a type of rock. Metamorphic and sedimentary rocks are formed through processes that do not involve the melting of rock, so they typically contain lower amounts of silica.
