aquatic pre lab Flashcards
1
Q
temperature
A
as water become warmer, its ability to hold oxygen decreases
2
Q
photosynthetic activity
A
in bright light, aquatic plants are able to produce more oxygen
3
Q
decomposition activity
A
as organic material decays, microbial processes consume oxygen
4
Q
mixing and turbulence
A
wave action, waterfalls, and rapids all aerate water and increase the oxygen concentration
5
Q
salinity
A
as water becomes more salty, its ability to hold water decreases
