Although we think of land when we hear the word biome, there are also aquatic biomes. The abiotic factors that influence life fo

rms vary with location in the ocean. Oceanographers divide the ocean into five broad vertical zones as seen in the chart. Compare the abiotic characteristics of the five ocean zones. Which of these conclusions about life forms found in the zones is supported by the information in the chart?
A) Because of the severe abiotic conditions, there are no life forms found in the hadalpelagic zone.

B) The epipelagic zone is the only zone of the five zones where visible light and algae can be found.

C) The mesopelagic zone hosts a diverse zooplankton community instead of a phytoplankton or algae community and virtually no fish species.

D) Because there is no light in the abyssal zone, organisms feed on each other or the dead organic material, detritus, that falls into the abyssal zone from above.

Answer:

B) and D) are the correct answers

Explanation:

Hadalpelagic zone contains life such as amphipods , snailfishes  and cusk-eels.

Epipelagic zone is the ONLY zone where visible light and algae can be found.  Lower than that the amount of light is  insufficient for plants to carry out  photosynthesis.

The mesopelagic zone has a diverse biological community that includes unique organisms adapted to live in a low-light environment including fish like

the blobfish, bristlemouths or the tasselled anglerfish.

Many marine organisms depend on up welling to bring nutrients to the surface. How might El Nino affect a fisherman's way of life
svp [43]
During an El Nino, warm water gathers along the West coast of South America, so the nutrient rich water is no longer being upwelled. keeping in mind that cold water sinks and warm water rises, usually the warm water near coastal regions would not be full of nutrients compared to the cold water where the nutrients fall. therefore, more fish will be located or migrate to areas of this nutrient rich cold water instead. So, many fishermen would not have high yields of fish ultimately affecting their way of life and money. also a lot of these fish that remain at the surface would not be as healthy or nutrient rich.

hope that helps! :))

How is the structure of endoplasmic reticulum related to its function?
ohaa [14]

Answer:

The endoplasmic reticulum can either be smooth or rough, and in general its function is to produce proteins for the rest of the cell to function. The rough endoplasmic reticulum has on it ribosomes, which are small, round organelles whose function it is to make those proteins.

Plz help oh and one of the questions is what percent of energy does an individual get from the individual it eats
liraira [26]

1. An example of secondary consumer is snake. Secondary consumers are the ones who eat the primary consumers, which makes them carnivore.

2. Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and (some other organisms) that converts water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) with the presence of sun energy (collected in the chloroplasts) into chemical energy that is later stored in sugars (carbohydrates). Organisms that do the photosynthesis are called autotrophs (produce food by themselves).

3. The energy pyramid represents energy flow in a community, where the different levels represent different groups of organisms.  

The food chain is a circulation of energy that comes from the sun and passes from the producer organisms to the primary consumer, secondary and tertiary consumer organisms.  

4. For example, plant is producer that is eaten by primary consumer-herbivore (e.g. bugs). Than secondary consumer-carnivore (e.g. snake) eat that herbivore and than is being eaten by tertiary consumer (apex predator that have no natural predator).  

5. One trophic level gets only 10% of the energy of the previous level. So, if the plant have 10.000 units of energy and is eaten by rabbit, rabbit gets 1000 units of energy, and when the fox eats an rabbit, it gets 100 units of energy.  

6. Trophic level is the position of an organism in the food chain.
