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.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.

The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
