Photosynthesis in the earths forests produces about half of the oxygen in the atmosphere. Photsynthesis in the earths oceans produces the other half of the oxygen in the atmposphere. Why do you thinkso much photosynthesis occurs in the oceans?

Read the following scenario to answer the following question. over the past 60 years, many amphibian species have experienced significant population declines, and some species have become extinct. scientists suspected that local human activities such as the destruction of wetlands, regional pollution, and deforestation were the main reasons for these losses. however, research over the past 20 years reveals significant amphibian population declines in protected areas of the world, such as nature preserves and parks. these global declines suggest widespread problems including increased ultraviolet radiation, acid rain, and disease. in switzerland, for example, 14 of the 20 native amphibian species are threatened with extinction. when most populations of a wide-ranging amphibian species are lost and the few remaining populations are widely separated, we expect to see that a. the founder effect becomes increasingly important b. microevolution no longer occurs c. gene flow between populations is reduced d. artificial selection becomes a greater factor in microevolution

Which phrase is the best summary of the model shown? a. the transfer of the sun's energy through trophic levels b. a series of aerobic and anaerobic reactions c. a transformation of light energy into chemical energy d. the breakdown of food molecules

Amarine ecologist has constructed the conceptual model shown in the diagram. what predictions can be made from using this model? where the tertiary consumers get their energy how often primary producers are able to reproduce when bacteria and fungi initiate the process of decomposition whether other secondary consumers are present
