1.1 - 1.3 Flashcards
Temporal
Coyote day
Wolf night
Spatial
Birds nest in different sections of a tree
Morphological
Birds beaks hunt specific seeds
Marsh, Swamp, Bogs
Freshwater
Coral Reefs, Estuaries, Ocean
Marine (salty and ocean)
SALt in H2O determines survival and usability
SALinity
determines amount of O2 in H2O
FlOw
Amount of sunlight reaching plants below surface for photosynthesis
Depth
Warmer the H2O, what happens to O2 that affects organisms?
Warmer H2O=Less dissolved O2
–> less organisms supported=more bacteria
Area with water submerging soil (submerged/saturated) thats shallow enough for emerging plants
Wetland
lilypads, cattails, reeds belong to a
wetland
What does wetland cause? (3)
Less floods
(The plants) Filters pollutants draining with the H2O in wetland
High plant growth (Water + dead nutrients) in sediments
River (freshwater) empties into Ocean (marine)
Estuary
What does an estuary cause? (2)
Mangrove trees adapt to mix of fresh + salt
River depositing sediments (has nutrients) = high productivity/plant growth
Narrow band of coastline between high and low tide
Intertidal Zone
2 adaptations in Intertidal zones
1: shell/tough outer skin prevent desiccation during low tides
2: spiral wrack (seaweed) curl up + secrete mucus for water retention in low tide
Beyond shoreline in warm + shallow H2O
Coral Reef
Algae gives coral _____
Coral gives algae _____
sugar (energy from photosynthesis)
CO2 + home
Where is algae and phytoplankton and what do they do
In open ocean
Produce a ton of our O2, absorb a ton of CO2
Photic Zone
Sunlight reaches = photosynthesis
(A)photic Zone. (A)ngler fish
No sunlight. too deep
What is chlorophyll
algae and phytoplankton
what are the 3 highs?
CPF
high chlorophyll = high primary productivity (photosynthesis) = high o2 for fish
What productivity is high in cold water w/ high dissolved O2
Secondary productivity
