I think it is because in the ocean the plankton produces most of the oxygen which is used by aquatic plants and plankton is a primary producer known as autotrops.

Answer:

Photosynthesis occurs in oceans due to presence of phytoplanktons in the surface water.

Explanation:

Phytoplanktons are the phototrophic organisms that are found in surface water of the oceans. These are very tiny organisms and are present in large number in ocean surface water.

The phytoplankton release oxygen during the process of photosynthesis. Presence of a large number of these organisms in oceans leads to the production of as much as half of the oxygen present in the atmosphere.

B. Outside the nucleus of an atom. Unlike protons and neutrons, which are located inside the nucleus at the center of the atom, electrons are found outside the nucleus. Because opposite electric charges attract each other, negative electrons are attracted to the positive nucleus.

Which phrase listed below best describes the function of the digestive system?
xz_007 [3.2K]


The best answer is C - to break down food into nutrients.

The digestive system  breaks down food  into its simplest form that cell are able to utilize  for energy.  Food is broken down into its monomer units. Proteins are broken down into amino acids, lipids are broken down into fatty acids and glycerol and carbohydrates are broken down into glucose.

Glucose is then absorbed into the blood and transported to every cell in the body. The cells take in glucose and use it as fuel and raw material  in the process of cellular respiration. From one molecule of glucose, 36 to 38 molecules of ATP ( the form of energy used by cells) are produced.
