Q

suggest how biomass pyramids change from runoff

A

algae bar would be narrower, but limpet would become wider. This is because the limpets would rapidly repopulate before the algae had time to catch up

Q

why can increased algae lead to death of marine animals

A

Require more oxygen, meaning less is available for others, They can become parasitic to animals if they attach and can harm them. It also causes an increase in decomposers

Q

what are the effects of a mutual relationship between algae and bacterium

A

both species benefit. The toxin protects the algae from predators and in return the bacterium gets a habitat. This also allows for increased growth of bacterium

Q

why are blue sharks carnivores predators

A

they kill other marine life for food, specifically those that are smaller than them. Because their prey are consumers, they are carnivores

Q

relationship between sea anemones and clownfish

A

mutualistic, both organisms benefit. Clownfish feed on anenomie eggs

17
Q

two nutrients required by photosynthetic marine organsims

A

nitrates and magnesium

18
Q

role of decomposers in recycling nutrients

A

breaks down dead, decaying matter such as: bacteria. so it can return to the food chain for producers. Externally digest minerals and new organisms can take its place.

19
Q

how to find percent increase in a region

A

subtract small from big and divide by small.

20
Q

why does an area have the greatest percent change

A

there is less productivity in this region, fewer photosynthetic organisms up taking nitrates, and low light penetration

21
Q

differences in data after a strong wind storm

A

strong surface currents, causes upwelling, and increases nitrate concentration

22
Q

explain the effect of an increase in surface concentration of nitrate ions on the concentrate of dissolved oxygen

A

increased photosynthesis causes increased dissolved oxygen due to increased productivity of producers.
