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.

An unknown chemical is analyzed and found to contain the bases thymine and guanine. This chemical is most likely tRNA. mRNA. DNA
Verdich [7]

Answer:

DNA

Explanation:

Thymine is one of the four nucleobases that pairs with adenine to make up DNA, also called 5-methyluracil. It is replaced by uracil to make RNA molecules during transcription.

Theferore the unknown chemical analyzed was DNA because thymine is found in DNA and not in RNA molecules.
