You find an unknown species in a fishing net and are not sure where it came from. To keep it in the lab to learn more about it, and find out where it came from, what would be the best approach? Set up an estuary tank because the intermediate salinity is most likely to support life. Carefully monitor temperature, salinity, and oxygen levels to detect quickly if they are not correct. Use freshwater and lab temperatures because a freshwater environment is less stressful than a marine environment. Set up a standard marine tank because salinity and oxygen levels are similar in all marine environments. Set up an environment with low oxygen levels and low light levels to lower stress.

Which is an unseen factor that affects the carrying capacity of the ocean? sunlight space water availability water chemistry
The following is a list of abiotic factors that would have a micro-effect on a tidal pool (rocky pockets of water where the ocean meets the land). Select the one that would have larger, long-term effects if changed.(1 point) rising water depth temperature water chemistry (pH, pollution, etc.) weather (wind, rain, etc.)
How does hydrology influence the physical character of a place? Select all that apply. Responses Tidal marshes allow for a multitude of flora and fauna. Hydrology studies the ocean currents and water temperature. Floods create new groundwater ecosystems. Fjords, created by glaciation, create deep water for fishing
. How does the law of tolerance affect where populations of organisms live? Organisms are not affected by the law of tolerance. Organisms tolerate the water conditions but cannot tolerate other abiotic factors. Organisms only live where they can tolerate the conditions. Organisms live where they can tolerate the other organisms.
Which of the following pairs of words are most clearly opposites? a. biodegradable, recalcitrant b. activated sludge, sewage c. carbon dioxide, methane d. SIV, HIV
Which of the following does not vary predictably with the depth ofthe aquatic environment?a. dissolved oxygen b. temperature c. penetration by sunlight d. salinity
How do bio-indicators determine the health of a water system? A. A few species of macro-invertebrates will be present in a healthy body of water B. Many different species of macro-invertebrates will be present in a healthy body of water C. No species of macro-invertebrates will be present in a healthy body of water D. There is no relationship between the number of species of bio-indicators and the health of a body of water
Explain why you can't tell true water quality just by looking at it.
Find the Flaw Biomagnification in how the amount of toxin in an organism will increase as you move up a food chain. For example, a plant might only have a little toxin but an herbivore eats a lot of plants. So, now the herbivore has a medium amount of toxin. A carnivore eats a lot of herbivores and now the carnivore has a high amount of toxin and is sick. The water cycle has five important processes. Evaporation which is water turning into vapor. Condensation and precipitation refer to water vapor turning into liquid or solid water. Subsurface water flow feeds rivers and streams. Surface runoff is water from precipitation gathering in streams. Streamflow moves water from mountains to oceans. The nitrogen cycle has four steps. Denitrification is where bacteria take nitrogen from the atmosphere and convert it into a form that is usable by other biological systems. Ammonification is where nitrogenous waste is converted into ammonia. Nitrification is where ammonia is converted into…
