If I am not wrong, I believe the answer is Producers. The reason as to why I say that producers is the answer is because in every food chain, there needs to be a base. That base is what provides the starting energy that will later on move up in the food chain.
The situation is an exponential growth wherein an example is on population when as the population gets larger, it grows more quickly.
Could you add a little more to this question, please?
Answer:
Deep zone, surface zone and transition zone.
Explanation:
Open sea zone is the area of the coastal areas above the sea bed and cover the continental shelf where large Marine organism are present and there is enough sunlight algae organism use to photosynthesize and produce food for the Marine organisms by converting carbondioxide and water into carbohydrates.
The zone stretches from the surface , to the middle and depth of 200 m.
The surface zone is the area where light penetrates most , the transition stretches from the surface zone downward, in this zone light penetrates bit not as much as surface zone and in the deep zone, it stretches from the transition zone downward to a depth of 200 meters and don't have enough light penetration compare to surface and transition.
