Seagrasses

Question

Seagrasses
A) Tend to live in waters deeper than kelps
B) Are never found in the tropics
C) Are very sensitive to low light conditions
D) Live only in estuaries

Accepted Answer

Seagrasses are very sensitive to low light conditions, which is why they are typically found in clear, shallow waters where sunlight can easily penetrate. They rely on photosynthesis, so adequate light is crucial for their survival. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because seagrasses can be found in a variety of marine environments, including both tropical and temperate regions, and not exclusively in estuaries or deeper waters than kelps.
