Question 18 • 5120VB Environmental Science Sem B- B

Marine snow is _______.

Answer
A
pieces of organic matter that were once part of living organisms
B
a mixture of living plankton
C
snow from land that has entered aquatic ecosystems
D
large salt crystals that have not dissolved in ocean water

Explanation

Marine snow is made of small particles of organic matter that sink through the ocean. These particles can come from dead organisms, bits of once-living material, and waste. It is not a mixture of living plankton or undissolved salt crystals, so the correct choice is “pieces of organic matter that were once part of living organisms.”
