Third practice test Flashcards
Some cyanobacteria can utilize molecular nitrogen (N2) as a source of nitrogen and the
process is called
Nitrogen Fixation
Under high light intensity photosynthesis may be depressed in surface waters and this
phenomenon is called
Photo inhibition
Chemical compounds released by a predator that can influence zooplankton are called
Cyclomorphosis
Post et al. (2000) concluded that both ecosystem size and primary productivity determine food chain length in a lake.
False

Effective range of light that allows for photythisithis
Reynold’s number
