Why does more photosynthesis take place in the ocean than on land

Biology
1 answer:
bixtya [17]2 years ago
3 0
Just like plants on land, ocean-going plankton need light from the sun to prosper and grow. But light is absorbed by ocean water, and some colors of light are absorbed more readily than others.That's why nearly all photosynthesis in the ocean takes place in the sunlit upper layers.

Explain any two specific adaptation that allow animal to survive in Mountain habitat<br><br>​
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Among others, two adaptations might be

  1. Avoiding corporal heat loss
  2. Increasing oxygen absorption  

Explanation:

Up in the mountains, there is low oxygen, food is scarce, and adverse meteorological conditions. Animals and plants need to develop different strategies to survive. These adaptations involve not only physical and physiological changes but also behavioral changes. To mention a few adaptations, we can name:

  • Avoiding heat loss. Temperature tends to be very low at highs, so, to <u>avoid heat loss,</u> animals develop shorter legs, tails, and ears. By doing this they reduce the area or surface of heat loss and also avoid getting frozen. In mammals, the coat is also very important. A thick coat helps them maintain a constant body temperature and keep warm. Some amphibians might also develop a thicker skin as they can not regulate their temperature, and it also helps them not to dehydrate.
  • Camouflage: Coat is also helpful in camouflaging. Mammals´ hair color depends on their environment. Some animals, such as hares, can also change their fur color depending on the season. During snow seasons they turn white, and during the warmer season, they turn yellow or brown.
  • Size and metabolism: Small mammals lose heat very fast, so they need to keep active and feeding most of the time. They have an elevated metabolism to keep warm. On the contrary, big animals, such as bears, need to hibernate to reduce their metabolism and get to survive, otherwise, they would need many reserves to cover their energetic requirements.
  • Oxygen absorption: Some animals have adapted to the lack of oxygen by increasing their heart and lungs capacity as well as their capability to absorbing more oxygen from the blood.

Why is dna smaller than rna?
Elis [28]
No it’s the other way around .

RNA is much shorter than DNA. DNA contains the code for making lots and lots of different proteins. Messenger RNA contains the information to make just one single polypeptide chain - in other words for just one protein, or even just a part of a protein if it is made up of more than one polypeptide chain.

What would happen if there was a sudden increase in the amount of greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere​
Harrizon [31]

There would be a much more severe cause of global warming if there is a sudden increase in greenhouses gases. With greenhouse gasses such as carbon dioxide, the heat of the earth cannot be penetrated through the atmosphere and will be trapped, the sunlight also cannot be reflected.
