Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The standing biomass per unit of surface area is the highest among any marine community. The high
productivity is due to the availability of nutrients, the high biodiversity, strong sunlight, and the
abundance of niches in the community. Information can be found in the section Examples of Marine
Communities.



Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
A community is an interacting group of producers and consumers sharing a common living space.
Information can be found in the section Marine Organisms Live in Communities.
