Sediments reaching streams affect water clarity, which is tested by determining turbidity Turbidity can be determined by measuring the depth at which a submerged object can no longer be seen from the surface due to how much sediment is "clouding" the sample. The lower the turbidity, the more sediments causing the water to be "cloudy" Below is a table of the results. Sample Group Turbidity Straw bale plots (plot A) 12 cm Planted grass plots (plot B) 28 cm (vii) Based on the data in the table above, make a claim about the stated hypothesis

Figure 1.16 seems at first to be simply a description of thephysical and chemical properties of a lake. Outline how livingorganisms participate in determining the physical and chemical(i.e., temperature and O2) patterns. Consider organisms livingboth in the lake and on the land surrounding the lake. Consideralso a research report that shows that dense populations of algaesometimes change the temperature structure of lakes by raisingthe thermocline and thereby increasing the thickness of the deep,cold layer; how could algal populations do this, and what couldbe the consequences for deep-water animals?
