What is the most valid conclusion regarding ocean depth temperature, based on the data? The temperature and salinity increase with increasing depth. The salinity increases as the depth goes closer to zero. The bottom of the ocean is frozen and salinity levels are low. The ocean temperature never rises above 10°C and salinity remains constant.

the element that provides strength to the exoskeletons of clams and oysters is phosphorus. this is so because calcium carbonate is the main component in the shells.

explanation:

1. the energy lost to disorder metabolism     -entropy

2. related to or possessing motion potential     -kinetic

3. all of the chemical reactions in an organism required for maintenance of the processes of life entropy     -metabolism

4. possible; ability to go into action or perform work kinetic     -potential

5. the study of energy and its transformations thermodynamics     -thermodynamics
