Which of the following is True about ocean ecosystems?a. Surface waters typically have abundant sunlight but lowlevels of nutrients.b. Because there isn’t enough sunlight for photosynthesis,deep waters typically have no life.c. Surface waters in the open ocean have the highestproductivity.d. Life near hydrothermal vents relies on photosynthesisfor energy.

Group of answer choices a. energy is necessary for ecosystems while matter is not b. energy enters and leaves continuously and matter does not c. matters enters and leave continuously and energy does not d. both move through ecosystems in similar ways (no difference) e. energy can only be captured by bacteria with special properties
Which biogeochemical cycle does not have a gaseous component but cycles from the land to sediments in the ocean and back to the land? (a) carbon cycle (b) nitrogen cycle (c) phosphorus cycle (d) hydrologic cycle (e) neither a nor c has a gaseous component

In the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration, carbon is cycled between all major spheres on Earth. Plants obtain carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as one reactant to conduct photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide is produced by organisms as a result of carrying out cellular respiration. Activity 1 Which claim is correct about the cycling of matter and the flow of energy in the carbon cycle? A. In the ecosystem, matter flows and energy cycles. B. In an ecosystem, both matter and energy cycle. C. In an ecosystem, matter cycles and energy flows. D. In an ecosystem, both matter and energy flow.
Why do you suppose plants and forests appeared in large numbers before large animals did? Several of the choices may be correct. Select the options you expect to be the strongest contributing factors.A. Animals need food, and there was none on land before plants. B. Plants were driven to land by scarce resources in the oceans, such as light and minerals. C. It was too cold for animals at first. D. Animals are more susceptible to radiation and needed more ozone in order to survive out of the water. E. The order was pure chance and could have gone either way. F. There was not enough oxygen for lungs to be effective before plants colonized land. G. The increased oxygen levels produced by land plants accelerated animal evolution. H. Plants had to change less to survive on land.
