Question

select the correct answer.
mangrove trees can only survive in moderately saline water. what are such organisms called?
a. euryhaline
b. stenohaline
c. mesohaline
d. polyhaline
e. oligohaline

Explanation:

Euryhaline organisms can tolerate a wide range of salinity levels. Mangrove trees, which can survive in moderately saline water, fit this description. Stenohaline organisms can only tolerate a narrow range of salinity. Mesohaline, polyhaline, and oligohaline refer to types of water bodies (not organisms) based on salinity ranges (mesohaline: 5 - 18 ppt, polyhaline: 18 - 30 ppt, oligohaline: 0.5 - 5 ppt).

Answer:

A. euryhaline
