Step by step
Solved in 2 steps with 2 images
- Name a few key differences between organisms in wetlands and organisms in the oceanWhich of the following would be considered a biotic component of a coral reef ecosystem? Check ALL that apply. microbes? algae? water temperature? wave action? water currents?Gasping for Oxygen Explain how each of the following contribute to dissolved oxygen decline in aquatic ecosystems: Rising water temperatures slowing streams organic pollutants/eutrophication
- Explain coastal, euphotic, bathyal, abyssal and their characteristics esp. in terms of biodiversity, temperature, oxygen availability, light, pressure, nutrients.85. An ecologist collects three related beetle species – one from a tropical rain forest, another from a desert and the third from the tundra. Back in the lab, she places all the beetles in a warm, dry environmental chamber and measures water loss across the cuticle. From highest to lowest rate of water loss, how would you expect the three species to rank?a. tropical rain forest > desert > tundrab. desert > tundra > tropical rain forestc. tundra > desert > tropical rain forestd. desert > tropical rain forest > tundrae. tropical rain forest > tundra > desertWhat factor(s) influence organisms living in aquatic biomes? (select all that apply) Question 1 options: light availability thermal properties dissolved minerals transpiration pollutants
- INTERPRET DATA Study the graph, which shows the combined effects of various factors on biological diversity in 12 different terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Which factor is most important overall? Why do you think that climate change and increasing atmospheric CO2 are represented as separate factors? What is nitrogen pollution? Adapted from Sala, O.E., et al., Science, Vol. 287 (2000).Which marine zone would have the lowest total rate of photosynthesis? photic littoral abyssal pelagic intertidalDescribe the biological environment of the sea.
- Aside from light energy and temperature. What are the other physical conditions and climatic regime of an aquatic environment?In which aquatic biome does the salt concentration of the water change by a great deal during the day? - Lakes - Coral Reefs - Wetlands - Estuaries - Oceanic Pelagic Zone - Intertidal Zones - Marine Benthic ZOne - Steams and RiversWhat organisms produce the most oxygen and absorbs the most carbon dioxide for our planet? (Hint- Think about what organisms are most numerous-Think about how much land there is and how much ocean there is!!)
