Answer:
The coastal ocean seems to be more productive than the waters of the similar height in the open ocean due to ample availability of water, sunlight, and nutrients. The coastal ocean has more nutrients due to the process of upwelling, that is, movement of water offshore by the currents.
Also, water situated on the continental shelves is comparatively shallower and thus it is turbulent. This mixing or turbulence keeps settling the nutrients stirred up and accessible, and eventually, ample of nutrients erode off the continents themselves and so water nearby to the shore seems to be greater in nutrients.
On the other hand, in the surface water away from the coastlines, usually, there is a lot of sunlight but no availability of adequate nutrients. Therefore, the majority of the ocean surface is not much productive.
Explanation:
C as activation energy is the highest curve on the graph
In an ecosystem, the energy is transferred between the organisms participating in the food webs from producers and consumers.
The percentage of energy transferred to the deer after feeding on the grass is 10%.
The 10% law of the energy states that:
1. The food chain at each trophic level passes or transmits only 10% of the energy and 90% of the energy is lost as heat.
2. The amount of energy at each trophic level decreases, such that the producers if consuming the 100 J of energy, the deers or primary consumers at the first trophic level will have only 10% of the energy.
Thus, the deer will possess only 10% of the energy at each trophic level, following the 10% law.
The correct answer is Option C.
