High productivity characterizes several marine ecosystems, but specific attributes that contribute to high productivity are not necessarily the same in all 5 systems.  From the list below, choose the best description of how productivity can be high in each ecosystem.   deep sea hydrothermal vents

Choose the ecosystem that is best described by each of the following sentences:        habitat structure is ephemeral, being continuously built and destroyed by water movement and as organisms interact with each other 

Food webs are one way to organize a lot of information about an ecosystem in a way that can help us to understand the dynamics of the system.  Please choose the ecosystem that is described by each of the following phrases:   Very large predators (i.e., that feed on the predators that consume herbivores) help maintain health of the ecosystem
