Question

PLEASE HELP

Gracilaria verrucosa is a type of algae that can
Live in a salt marsh or in a mangrove habitat.
Scientists discovered that the mangrove G.
VETTUCosa have higher levels of chlorophyll as
compared to salt marsh G. ETTcosa. Based on
this finding, which statement describes the
most likely outcome?

A. The salt marsh habitat will have higher
amounts of dissolved oxygen.

B. The mangrove habitat will have reduced
amounts of atmospheric carbon dioxide.

C. Salt marsh G. verrucosa will photosynthesize
faster than mangrove G. VerTucosa.

D. Mangrove G. DeTucosa will photosynthesize
faster than salt marsh G. verTucosa

Answer 1

as we all know Chlorophyll is used by plants during photosynthesis in order to convert carbon dioxide and minerals into glucose and oxygen in the presence of sunlight....

thus when plant A has more chlorophyll than plant B, it should mean that plant A will be able to photosynthesize faster than plant be.

this has hence led me to believe that the answer is:-

Option D - Mangrove G. DeTucosa will photosynthesize faster than salt marsh G. verTucosa.

Step-by-step explanation:

I belive that this is the answer.

I think that the salinity was put in the question to just trick you ( like schools always do ).

If I'm wrong please let me know.

thank you and have a great day ahead :)
