Question
Chapter 52.3, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
To determine: How the organism is able to survive in the changing salt concentrations in estuaries.
Concept introduction:
Osmosis is the process in which the water molecules move from a region of low solute concentration to that of high solute concentration, to maintain osmoregularity. Many aquatic organisms that thrive in different concentrations of salts, such as in estuaries regulate their internal salt concentration with that of the external salt concentration.

1. Based on Graphicsa) Where is the position of the marine biota zone, make a zone inhabited by stenohaline and euryhaline groups. Explain!b) Why is the number of estuary water species the least compared to the other two biota groups?
2. Where is the productivity of plankton in the neritic and oceanic layers high? what is the reason for this?
HOTSPOT ANSWER
Question 18
After pulling in their fishing nets, Juniper discovered a species of fish they hadn't
seen before. The fish has large gills, a swim bladder, a streamlined body, and
well-developed muscles that can withstand changes in pressure.
Press the hotspot that indicates the water layer where this fish most likely lives.
Hint: If it can withstand changes in pressure, it's probably swimming be-
tween zones.

- Q4.16. Your colleague designed a common garden experiment to determine if moisture level influences competition between a native alga and an exotic alga. The design includes four plot types: wet with native only, wet with exotic only, wet with both algae, and dry with both algae. The results are below.
