Which of the following statements about air pollution is not true?
a. air pollution is caused by natural and human processes.
b. carbon monoxide and sulfur oxides are common air pollutants.
c. natural components of air, like carbon dioxide, cannot be considered air pollutants.
d. primary and secondary pollutants are harmful to human health and the environment.

c) Natural components of air, like carbon dioxide, cannot be considered air pollutants.

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide plays a role as greenhouse gas. Though living being emit carbon dioxide when they breathe, carbon dioxide is considered as a pollutant when associated with cars, power plants, and other human activities that involve the burning of fossil fuels such as gasoline and natural gas.

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

ecological efficiency: % of usable energy transferred as

biomass from one trophic level to the next typical is 10% efficient (90% of

energy is lost),is diagramed as the pyramid of energy flow. then osprey eagle

are tertiary consumer and the shrimp are primary consumer, so to balance

mass of shrimp (1/0.1) / 0.1 = 100 kg
