Passage V
Some oceanic shrimp are vertical migrators. For vertically migrating species, most of the population is found at the bottom of their depth range during the day and at the top of their depth range at night. Table 1 shows the depth ranges and water, protein, lipid, and carbohydrate content of 3 vertically migrating (vm) species of shrimp and 3 nonmigrating (nm) species of deep-sea shrimp. Figure 1 shows water temperature and oxygen partial pressure at various ocean depths.
23. Based on the information in Table 1, one would conclude that vertically migrating shrimp have a higher percent content of:
Your Answer is
Correct Answer is A
Explanation
As can be seen from the right side of table 1, the protein content in vm is greater than the lipid content than the carbohydrate content
