- Dissolved oxygen is oxygen that is trapped in a fluid. Because many living organisms require oxygen to survive, it is a necessary component of water systems (streams, lakes, rivers, etc.) to support aquatic life. Dissolved oxygen is measured in units of ppm (parts per million). Examine the data in Table 4, which shows the amount of dissolved oxygen present and the number of fish observed in the body of water from which the sample was taken.

Develop a hypothesis relating to the amount of dissolved oxygen measured in the water sample and the number of fish observed in the body of water.

We “control the variables” by making anything else that could change during the experiment into a constant. For example, if you are doing an experiment to find out what material can hold more water, then it is important to make sure all the materials you are testing are the same size. Why is it so important to control the variables? What would happen if we did not control them?arrow_forward
- Mono lake is a a soda lake (highly alkaline- pH 10) formed some 700,000 years ago. In your research, you have discovered a novel organism that is about 5x2 um in size. It is an aquatic organism, that appears to thrive in low oxygen tensions and in alkaline conditions, and appear to be chemotactic . It was found in the deeper regions of the lake with higher salinity and no oxygen. You are attempting to classify the organism as a Bacteria, Archaea or Eukarya. For each of these domains, list five (5)characteristics or structures that would allow you to classify the organism as belonging the domains. This is, for each domain, list 5 distinct characteristics or distinct structures that would place the organism in that domain. Be thoughtful, specific and detailed in your answer (by detail, I am referring to the level of detail in the text -- for example, if you believe your organism has flagella, what flagella composition/structure/movement would classify it as Archaea vs Eukarya vs…arrow_forwardExamine the table below and briefly familiarize yourself with just what elements make sea water salty.

- Discuss the biological significance of water to living organisms.arrow_forwardWhy is it important for biologists to study water?arrow_forwardAside from hydration, pick two ways water's extraordinary properties affect living organisms. The cooling that occurs through evaporation of water helps to maintain an organism's body temperature. The only way that water affects living organisms is through hydration. The cooling that occurs through condensation of water helps to maintain an organism's body temperature. Cohesion allows for water to be drawn up a plant within its vascular tissue.arrow_forward
