Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Polar waters are very rich in nutrients, including oxygen. This water sinks from the surface in these

Dissolve in Seawater



Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Osmotic pressure rises with increasing salinity. This allows for the transmittance of water in and out of
cells. Information can be found in the section Seawater Consists of Water and Dissolved Solids.
