than near the surface of a shallow marine biome?
There is less sunlight available in the deep marine biome.
There is more sunlight available in the deep marine biome.
There are less nutrients available in the deep marine biome.

Which term best describes a factor that affects the survival of plants and animals within an ecosystem when it is found in a low amount?
abiotic
biotic
environmental
limiting
Which adaptation would be most important for a cactus living in the
desert?
the ability to store water in the stem
having dark-colored leaves
the ability to grow tall
having shallow roots
An area is semiarid, has few trees, and is home to ground-nesting birds. This area is
MOST likely part of which biome?
tundra
taiga
grassland
desert
In the geologic past, abiotic factors such as volcanic eruptions have had an impact on the
availability of resources. How can volcanic eruptions impact the availability of resources?
by decreasing the thickness of soil
by causing more heavy rains to erode topsoil
by disrupting the sunlight from reaching producers
by causing the surface of Earth to be warmer than usual
How are a tundra and a desert similar?
They both get too little rainfall to support large plants.
They both get too little sunlight to support many plants.
They both have healthy soil to support a wide variety of plants.
They both have a range of temperatures to support a wide variety of
plants.
Why are organisms in the open ocean more likely to perform
photosynthesis than organisms in a forest stream?
There is more exposure to sunlight in the ocean.
There is more exposure to sunlight in the forest.
More precipitation falls over the ocean.
More precipitation falls in the forest.
This table shows the components of a terrestrial food web and a description of each component. Component Description E returns nutrients back to the ecosystem F uses carbon dioxide and water to make glucose G acts as an abiotic factor in the ecosystem H produces carbon dioxide as a waste product A student is labeling a sketch with the correct term for each component. What label should be used for component G?
consumer
decomposer
producer
soil
Which producers would be found in an aquatic ecosystem?
