Photosynthesis vs chemosyntheis - ANS is the process by which producers use solar energy to convert carbon dioxide into glucose vs deep-sea producers uses chemical energy to make organic molecules. Photosynthesis: - ANS is an important mechanism for capturing and storing energy. Plant cells have organelles called chloroplasts, containing the pigment chlorophyll, which are able to capture the solar energy. The solar energy excites electrons in the chlorophyll, triggering a seri...

AICE Marine Science Chapter 2 Practice Test Verified Answers 1a Define what is meant by the term littoral zone. [ 1 ] the area of a shoreline that is submerged during high tide and exposed during low tide 1b Compare the formation of a rocky shore to the formation of a sandy shore. (4) Rocky shores form by exposed to high amounts of erosion, little sedimentation and high wave action. While, sandy shore is less erosion, more sedimentation, water is moving slower but still has wave action...
