The graph represents the depth profile of temperature in the open ocean; in which region this is likely to be prevalent?

  • Topical region

  • Equatorial region

  • Polar region

  • Sub-tropical region


C.

Polar region

Option (c) is the correct answer because, generally ocean temperatures range from about -2° to 30 °C (28-86° F). The warmest water tends to be surface water in low latitude regions, while the surface water at the poles region is obviously much colder.

A much greater proportion of energy fixed by autotrophs is transferred to the herbivore level in the open ocean ecosystem than in forest ecosystem because

  • Aquatic herbivores are more efficient feeders

  • Terrestrial autotrophs are less efficient feeders

  • Terrestrial autotrophs have more indigestible tissues
