\begin{tabular}{l} Shrimp are primary consumers that feed on photosynthetic organisms. Why would these organisms likely be found only in shallow ocean zones? \\ O The fast currents in deeper ocean zones would kill photosynthetic organisms. \\ OThe amount of oxygen in deeper ocean zones is too high for shrimp to breathe. \\ O The amount of light in deeper ocean zones is too dim to support photosynthesis. \\ O The high water pressure in deeper ocean zones would likely prevent photosynthesis. \\ \hline\end{tabular}

The amount of light in deeper ocean zones is too dim to support photosynthesis. Most photosynthetic organisms, like phytoplankton and seaweed, require sunlight to produce energy through photosynthesis. This process is significantly limited in deeper waters, where light penetrates only a short distance. In contrast, shallow waters receive ample sunlight, allowing these organisms to thrive and, in turn, support the shrimp and other marine life that depend on them. Additionally, the high water pressure in deeper ocean zones does create challenges for certain marine organisms, but it's mainly the lack of light that stifles photosynthetic life. Many deep-sea creatures have adapted to survive in these conditions, but they primarily rely on energy sources from the surface, underscoring the importance of shallow ocean zones as biodiverse hotspots!
