Which statement best describes how varying conditions in coastal areas affect the abundance of aquatic organisms living there? fewer aquatic organisms live in coastal areas because the tides require organisms to constantly adapt to changing conditions. more aquatic organisms live in coastal areas because organisms swept away during high tide can easily return to land during low tide. more aquatic organisms live in coastal areas because tidal processes maintain a more constant water temperature compared with other ocean areas. fewer organisms live in coastal areas because there is less food and oxygen available compared with other ocean areas.

The correct answer is "Fewer aquatic organisms live in coastal areas because the tides require organisms to constantly adapt to changing conditions".

Explanation:

There only few species of aquatic organisms that live in coastal areas because the tides require organisms to constantly adapt to changing conditions. Some adaptations of aquatic organisms living in intertidal zones include: ochre sea star adaptation to tolerate longer periods of time in contact with air, periwinkle snails secrete a gluelike mucus to avoid drying out when the tides are out, and some fishes like the tide pool sculpin can breathe air to survive when the tides are out.

and after water is usually warmed by the sun the water temperature raises and then evaporates .

the food storage products of chrysophytes are oils or the polysaccharide laminarin.   formerly classified as plants, the chrysophytes contain the photosynthetic pigments chlorophyll a and c all but the yellow-green algae also contain the carotenoid pigment fucoxanthin.
