A scientist was studying two different aquatic ecosystems located in Northern Florida. The ecosystems are detailed in the table below. Aquatic Ecosystem A
Aquatic Ecosystem B
Description
clear and fast moving water
murky and stagnant shallow water
Range of Depth
0-28 feet
0-6 feet
Salinity
0.002 mg/L
3 mg/L
Dissolved oxygen
4.29 mg/L
1.23 mg/L
pH
6.8
6.4
Temperature
68 F
81 F

Using the information from the table above, which aquatic ecosystem probably consists of more organisms?

Group of answer choices

Aquatic ecosystem B can support more life because it has a higher salinity than aquatic ecosystem B.

Aquatic ecosystem B can support more life because it is warmer and has shallower water.

Aquatic ecosystem A can support more life because it has more oxygen and circulating water.

Aquatic ecosystem A can support more life because it is deeper than aquatic ecosystem B.
