Textbook Question
Chapter 54.2, Problem 4CC
MAKE CONNECTIONS Ø Rising atmospheric CO2, levels lead to ocean acidification (see Figure 3.12) and higher ocean temperatures, both of which can reduce krill abundance. Predict how a drop in krill abundance might affect other organisms in the food web shown in Figure 54.15. Which organisms are particularly at risk? Explain.

In turn, the crabs are eaten byhumans and by the endangered Kemp’s Ridley sea turtle. Basedon this information, draw a food web that includes the bluecrab. Assuming that the top-down model holds for this system,describe what would happen to the abundance of eelgrass ifhumans stopped eating blue crabs.arrow_forward
- Food Web Construction Directions: Construct a food web using the following organisms (grass,leaves,owl, snake,grasshopper,hawk,bird,caterpillar,rabbit) Use Words to Construct.

Model/diagram the sources and sinks of carbon in the global ecosystem. You will need to create TWO models/diagrams of the sources and sinks of carbon. In the first model diagram the sources and sinks of carbon in a natural, pre-industrial landscape. In the second model, diagram the sources and sinks of carbon in a landscape altered by human activity and industry. Finally, write a few short sentences on what you would expect the atmospheric levels of CO2 to be in each model and why they would or would not be similar.arrow_forwardTwo species of sea urchins live practically side by side on sandy bottoms.
