Which best explains why there is a greater concentration of oxygen located near the ocean’s surface?

• Sunlight warms the ocean’s temperature and stimulates oxygen production near the surface

• Plankton produces excess amounts of nutrients that remove oxygen levels from the atmosphere

• Marine life gives off oxygen instead of carbon dioxide, which makes the ocean water rich in oxygen

• Plants, which release oxygen, live near the surface of the ocean, where they receive large amounts of sunlight

● The mystery species can perform photosynthesis.

● The mystery species is multicellular.

● The mystery species has a cell wall.

• You can eliminate the animal kingdom because animals are multicellular but do not perform photosynthesis.

• You can eliminate the animal kingdom because animals have cell walls but cannot perform photosynthesis

• You can eliminate the protist kingdom because protists are multicellular but cannot perform photosynthesis

• You can eliminate the protist kingdoms because protist can perform photosynthesis but do not have cell walls

Why does cell respiration and photosynthesis rely on each other?

• They are the same process

• Cell respiration must occur first, then photosynthesis

• They are opposites, meaning the products of one process is needed by the other process
