Explain the difference between food-chain and ecosystem. Explain the difference between food-chain and ecosystem.

A food chain shows the transfer of energy through a single chain of animals. For example, energy comes from the sun, a producer uses energy from the sun as food, a secondary consumer eats the primary consumer, a tertiary consumer eats the secondary consumer, and so on. An ecosystem contains many intertwining and interlocking food chains. Ecosystems contain both abiotic and biotic factors.

answer: - few nutrients

high pressure

low temperatures

explanation: 1. few nutrients:   open-ocean zone is located way far from the land, which is the main source of the essential nutrients.2. high pressure: pressure increases by 1 atmosphere for every 10 meters increase in depth.3. ample sunlight: a large fraction of the sunlight is reflected back to the atmosphere from the sea surface. 4. varying salinity: below the thermocline, the water is isolated from the atmosphere so the salinity remains stable over the year.5. low temperatures:   the temperature of open-ocean zone ranges from a low of -2°c to an average of 17°c
