Seagrasses are flowering plants. forty-nine species in 12 genera are known. the flowers are simple and open underwater; pollen is transported by waves and currents. however, they also reproduce vegetatively via rhizomes and form dense mats or meadows often composed of a single species. totally immersed in seawater, the long, linear leaves have no stomata. the plants never exchange gases with the atmosphere. they absorb carbon dioxide that is dissolved in the water and use the oxygen they themselves produce during photosynthesis. considering the characteristics of seagrass, you will most likely find seagrasses in which ocean zone(s)? a) the ocean basic and the abyss b) the continental shelf, slope, and rise c) the continental shelf and the sunlight zone d) the continental shelf and slope; the sunlight and twilight zones
