Due to human activities more carbon dioxide (CO2) is dissolving into the air, the ocean takes up more CO2 and becomes increasingly acidic. Increased ocean acidity makes it more difficult for marine animals to produce their calcium-rich hard parts. Explain three types of invertebrates that are likely to be adversely affected by an increase in ocean acidity.

A shark can stay in water at a desired level without swimming or moving its fins. Give reason.
Both saltwater and freshwater fish have adaptations to control the movement of water and salts across their external surfaces. Describe what would happen without these adaptations.
The migratory eel, Anguilla rostrata, is born and lives the juvenile (immature) part of its life in a freshwater environment, but then migrates thousands of miles through the ocean as an adult in order to breed. These eels are known to regulate their internal water and salt balance. What adaptations would you expect this eel to have in order to transition from fresh water to salt water at these two life stages The adult eels would be better at removing salt from their bodies compared to juveniles. The adult eels would spend energy keeping salt in their bodies. The juvenile eels would spend energy keeping water in their bodies. The juvenile eels would be better at removing salt from their bodies compared to adults. please help

Calcium carbonate is used by corals, shelled organisms, and a variety of other marine creatures to construct tissue components. What is the impact of climate change on their ability to construct those components? Temperature increases have diminished available calcium ions in marine habitats Hydrogen ions have increased acidity and will bind to carbonate ions decreasing avialblity to build calcium carbonate shells Hydrogen ions increase basicity of marine waters and induce dissolution of calcium carbonate structures Ocean warming is causing reactions to speed up and shells therefore are thinner and weaker Shelled organism are a product of founder effect
