How does energy acquisition in the deep sea differ from energy acquisition near the ocean’s surface?
a. organisms in the deep sea acquire energy directly from the sun.
b. organisms near the ocean’s surface rely on chemosynthesis rather than photosynthesis.
c. organisms in the deep sea do not have direct access to sunlight.
d. organisms in the deep sea have no means to obtain energy unless they travel to the ocean’s surface.

answer: the correct option is d. enzyme

lactase and carbonic anhydrase are the examples of enzymes.

lactase is an enzyme, which is present in the small intestine of mammals. it in the digestion of the disaccharide, lactose ( milk sugar) by converting it into two monosachharide, which are glucose and galactose.

carbonic anhydrase is present in the red blood cells. this enzyme plays significant role in the transport of co₂. it in the conversion of co₂ and h₂o into carbonic acid, which is then dissociated into bicarbonate ions and hydrogen ions.
