Q

Planktons convert CO2 from the atmosphere through digestion.

What is the wrong word, and what should replace that word?

A

Digestion => it should be replaced with PHOTOSYNTHESIS.

There are two main types of aquatic ecosystems based on Salinity, and those are:

F_________ and M_____ Ecosystems.

A

Freshwater and Marine Ecosystems.

18
Q

There are three major marine communities, and those are:

C. Zone, O.S. Surface, and D. Seawaters.

A
