In phytoplankton in offshore waters
A) We would expect phytoplankton to be relatively inefficient at nutrient uptake
B) We would expect saturation of nutrient uptake at nutrient concentrations higher than for inshore forms
C) Only nitrate can be taken up
D) We would expect saturation of nutrient uptake at nutrient concentrations lower than for inshore forms

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Phytoplankton in offshore waters are adapted to low nutrient concentrations and have a higher affinity for nutrients, allowing them to saturate nutrient uptake at lower concentrations compared to inshore forms.
