1:The living organisms, generally microscopic, are composed mainly of unicellular algae such as diatoms and dinoflagellates, unicellular and multicellular animals such as protozoans and larval andadult marine invertebrates, and bacteria. Organic detritus consists of a particulate (larger than 1 µm) and subparticulate (smaller than 1 µm) matter derived from the microbial decomposition ofbiologic material. The small size of particulate and subparticulate matter provides a larger surface area on which organic matter can attach.

1:Los organismos vivos, generalmente microscópicos, estáncompuestos principalmente de algas unicelulares como diatomeas o dinoflageladas, animales unicelulares y pluricelulares como protozoos, invertebrados marinos adultos y en estado larvario y bacterias. Eldetrito orgánico es materia en partículas (más grandes que 1 µm) y subpartículas (más pequeñas que 1 µm) procedentes de la descomposición microbiana del material biológico. El reducido tamaño enpartículas y subpartículas proporciona una mayor superficie sobre la que puede adherirse la materia orgánica.

2:As the volume of an object is cubed, its surface area is squared; therefore, if an objectincreases in volume, it will have proportionately more exposed surface area on which organic matter and microorganisms can attach than will larger size particles. Such small particulate matter providesa rich food source for those organisms, such as filter feeders, which are able to feed on it. During periods of water turbulence, bubbles are thrust below the surface, where they dissolve. Johnsonfound that a small organic particle was left behind when such bubbles completely dissolved under pressure. Particles thus formed are available as food to filter and deposit feeders.

2:A medida que elvolumen de un objeto se eleva al cubo, su superficie se eleva al cuadrado. Por lo tanto, si un objeto aumenta su volumen, proporcionalmente tendrá más superficie expuesta sobre la que pueden...
