Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Uniform distribution is when the organisms in a community are at equal distances from one another.
This would indicate that the nutrients and environmental factors are evenly distributed as well. Most of
the time there are patches of nutrients. The best example of this type of distribution is that of garden
eels. Information can be found in the section Communities Consist of Interacting Producers,
Consumers, and Decomposers

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The salinity within the estuary fluctuates with the tides. Areas near the river may exhibit salinities
approaching freshwater while areas near the ocean outlet display salinities closer to the salinity of
water. Information can be found in the section Examples of Marine Communities.
