Question

nutrient levels in the ocean are generally highest near the surface and decline as you get deeper.t/f
false
true

Explanation:

In the ocean, surface waters have high productivity (due to photosynthesis) which uses up nutrients. Deeper waters, where there's less photosynthesis and more decomposition of organic matter sinking from the surface, actually have higher nutrient levels. So the statement that nutrients are highest near the surface is false.

Answer:

A. False
