Probably the intertidal zone, as I reason the tides would affect life dramatically. High and low tide would affect land and ocean creatures in this zone too often where as the coastal and open oceans have constant properties.
Well, carbohydrates burn and release energy. Nucleic acids give identity (like DNA, RNA). Lipids also give energy, but it's more difficult (they must be first turned into carbohydrates first). Proteins are building blocks for the cells.
Now, knowing all of this should make it easy to choose the correct answer :)
Carbon enters the atmosphere as carbon dioxide from respiration and combustion. Carbon dioxide is absorbed by producers to make carbohydrates in photosynthesis. Animals feed on the plant passing the carbon compounds along the food chain. ... The animals and plants eventually die.
