Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
There is no photosynthesis occurring in the deep water because of the permanent darkness. For the
most part, consumers rely on the biological activity above them for nutrients. There are some areas
where chemosynthesis is also occurring. Information can be found in the section Examples of Marine
Communities



Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Steno translates to mean narrow. Stenothermal organisms have a narrow tolerance of temperature
changes. Many tropical species are stenothermal and function better in heated environments.
Information can be found in the section Understanding the Ocean Began with Voyaging for Trade and
Exploration.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
