What is the effect of water’s viscosity on aquatic organisms?
Group of answer choices
It increases the buoyancy of organisms, making it easier for them to float
It prevents the mixing of different water layers, creating distinct habitats
It enhances the rate of photosynthesis in aquatic plants
It creates resistance that organisms must overcome to move, affecting their shape and energy expenditure
Why is the property of water expanding upon freezing important for aquatic life in cold climates?
Group of answer choices
It decreases the pressure on aquatic organisms living at great depths
It causes ice to float, insulating the water below and protecting aquatic life from extreme cold
It allows nutrients to become more concentrated in liquid water
It increases the oxygen content in the water
The expanding ice pushes phytoplankton lower into the water column, making it more easily accessible to those who survive on it
