Question

why do most deep sea creatures die when brought to the surface? sellect all
lack of food at the surface
lack of pressure
their membranes are not able to withstand anything but extream pressure.
inability to adapt to lower pressure

Explanation:

• "lack of food at the surface": Deep - sea creatures' death when brought to the surface is mainly due to pressure changes, not an immediate lack of food. So this is incorrect.
• "lack of pressure": Deep - sea creatures are adapted to high - pressure environments. When brought to the surface, the pressure is much lower. The lack of the high pressure they are used to (or the presence of low pressure) affects their body structures (like gas - filled cavities, cell membranes). This is a correct reason.
• "their membranes are not able to withstand anything but extreme pressure": Their membranes and body structures are adapted to high - pressure conditions. When the pressure is reduced (at the surface), these structures (including membranes) can't function properly as they are not adapted to low - pressure environments. This is a correct reason.
• "inability to adapt to lower pressure": Deep - sea creatures have physiological and anatomical adaptations for high - pressure deep - sea conditions. They can't quickly adapt to the much lower pressure at the surface, which leads to problems like body structures (e.g., swim bladders, cell membranes) being damaged. This is a correct reason.

Answer:

• lack of pressure
• their membranes are not able to withstand anything but extream pressure (note: "extream" is a spelling error, should be "extreme")
• inability to adapt to lower pressure
