Because the Epipelagic Zone (or Euphotic Zone) receives enough sunlight for photosynthesis to occur. Since those tiny organisms who live there such as cyanobacteria and planktons are photosinthetic ones, they make up the base of the food chain and therefore are called primary producers. If they ceased to exist we would face several problems from loss of breathable air to food shortage.

Which shows the correct order in which food moves during digestion?
viktelen [127]
Digestion is of two types, mechanical and chemical. Food first enters the mouth where it is mechanically digested by the teeth and chemically digested by the enzymes in the saliva. Next, food travels to the pharynx and then the esophagus via peristaltic motion of the muscles. Then the food enters the stomach, where chemical digestion is completed. The broken down food is sent to the small intestine for absorption and then the large intestine to have water removed and then be expelled from the body.
