Cell theory states that all living things contain one or more cells. Why do you think cell theory meets the definition of a scientific theory? Do you think it should be a scientific law? Explain your response.

Yes. Scientific laws are established statements, based on repeated experiments or observation of a particular scenario or natural events while a science theory are events or explanation of the natural world that can be repeatedly tested and verified using scientific method. That is, for it to be a Scientific Theory we must be able to test and verify it using scientific methods and for it to be a Scientific Law it must have been tested and verified repeatedly using scientific methods. Cell  theory is a tested and verified experiment

answer: - few nutrients

high pressure

low temperatures

explanation: 1. few nutrients:   open-ocean zone is located way far from the land, which is the main source of the essential nutrients.2. high pressure: pressure increases by 1 atmosphere for every 10 meters increase in depth.3. ample sunlight: a large fraction of the sunlight is reflected back to the atmosphere from the sea surface. 4. varying salinity: below the thermocline, the water is isolated from the atmosphere so the salinity remains stable over the year.5. low temperatures:   the temperature of open-ocean zone ranges from a low of -2°c to an average of 17°c
