Much has been written about the diversity of terrestrial organisms, particularly the exceptionally rich lifeassociated with tropical rain-forest habitats. Relatively little has been said, however, about diversity of life in the seaeven though coral reef systems are comparable to rain forests in terms of richness of life.An alien exploring Earth would probably give priority to the planet dominants most-distinctive feature-the ocean.Humans have bias toward land that sometimes gets in the way of truly examining global issues. Seen from far away, itis easy to realize that landmasses occupy only one-third of the Earth surface. Given that two thirds of the Earth ssurface is water and that marine life lives at all levels of the ocean, the total three-dimensional living space of the oceanis perhaps 100 times greater than that of land and contains more than 90 percent of all life on Earth even though theocean has fewer distinct species.The fact that half of the known species are thought to inhabit the world rain forests does not seem surprising,considering the huge numbers of insects that comprise the bulk of the species. One scientist found many differentspecies of ants in just one tree from rain forest. While every species is different from every other species, their geneticmake up constrains them to be insects and to share similar characteristics with 750,000 species of insects. If basic,broad categories such as phyla and classes are given more emphasis than differentiating between species, then thegreatest diversity of life is unquestionably the sea. Nearly every major type of plant and animal has some representationthere To appreciate fully the diversity and abundance of life in the sea, it helps to think small. Every spoonful of oceanwater contains life, on the order of 100 to 100,000 bacterial cells plus, assorted microscopic plants and animals,including larvae of organisms ranging from sponges and corals to starfish and clams and much more..... What is the main idea of the passage? A. Humans are destroying thousands of species. B. There are thousands of insect species.C. The sea is even richer in life than the rain forests. D. Coral reefs are similar to rain forests..... The word appreciation in paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.A. ignorance B. recognition C. tolerance D. forgiveness.... Why does the author compare rain forests and coral reefs (paragraph 1)?A. They are approximately the same size. B. They share many similar species.C. Most of their inhabitants require water. D. Both have many different forms of life..... Which of the following is true about the ocean according to the passage?A. It’s 100 times greater than land. B. It contains more species than land.C. It contains vast majority of life on Earth D. It occupies one-third of the Earth’s surface..... The passage suggests that most rain forest species are _______. A. insects B. bacteria C. mammals D. birds.... The word there in paragraph refers to__________.A. the sea B. the rain forests C. tree D. the Earth surface .... The author argues that there is more diversity of life in the sea than in the rain forests because _______.A. more phyla and classes of life are represented in the seaB. there are too many insects to make meaningful distinctionsC. many insect species are too small to divide into categoriesD. marine life-forms reproduce at faster rate
