Answer:

More sunlight is available at the surface of ocean to carry out photosynthesis.

Explanation:

Phytoplankton are autotrophic organisms and use sunlight to carry out the process of photosynthesis. Sunlight is required for photosynthesis to occur. More sunlight is available at the surface of ocean. Availability of sunlight reduces with increasing depth of water due to presence of suspended particles in water. To obtain maximum sunlight to support photosynthesis, phytoplankton are found near the surface of ocean water.

A student is examining leaf cells. Which organelle is most likely to be missing from the cells?
Olegator [25]

The organelle which is most likely to be missing from leaf cells is Lysosomes.

Lysosomes are an important organelle for eukaryotic animal cells as they contain the digestive enzymes. The macromolecules or foreign matter which are harmful for the cells enter the animal cells easily but not the plant cells as the plant cells contain cell walls.  Phagocytosis or digestion of macromolecules is not much needed in plant cells so a lysosome can be missing from the leaf cell.

Is the myelin sheath of optic nerve axons provided by schwann cells or oligodendroglia?
Luda [366]
The retina and optic nerve are part of the central nervous system, as they are derived from the neural tube. We know that oligodendroglia provide myelin for the central nervous system and Schwann cells provide myelin for the peripheral nervous system. Therefore, oliogodendroglial cells must provide the myelin for the optic nerve.
