Explanation / Answer

False. Tropical rainforests have the highest mean net primary production of any terrestrial ecosystem because stable tropical rainforest environment promotes diversity by allowing plants and animals to interact all year round without needing to develop protection against cold or frost

True. Most coral reefs are formed from stony shells of tiny animals that live in the ocean.

True. Chaparral is a characteristic native shrubland found in temperate climate.

False. Spores of lichen or fungus are the first to grow in primary succession, climax community is in fact the last to grow in primary succession.

In Lake turnover, water turns from upper warm zone at top known as epilimnion to cooler zone at bottom known as hypolimnion.

Based on the overall average exposure of the zone, the intertidal region is divided into three zones i.e. high, middle, and low. The high intertidal zone is only covered by the highest of the high tides, and therefore, is exposed much of its time. The mid intertidal zone is regularly exposed and submerged by average tides. The low intertidal zone, is only exposed to air at the lowest of low tides and is primarily marine in character.
