Measuring biomass is not efficient in calculating primary productivity because dense areas can have
  lower productivity. Indicate whether the statement is true or false.

Question 2

Coccolithophores are able to utilize more frequencies of light so they can be deeper in the euphotic
  zone and need less light. Indicate whether the statement is true or false.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: T
The high biomass in an area can interfere with light penetration. The autotrophs in this area makes
carbohydrates at a slower rate. Information can be found in the section Measuring Primary
Productivity.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: F
Coccolithophores are found at the surface in brightly lighted areas. Their coccolith coverings may
provide protection from getting too much light. Information can be found in the section Most
Phytoplankton are Photosynthetic Autotrophs.
