Question
Chapter 52.3, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
To determine: How the organism is able to survive in the changing salt concentrations in estuaries.
Concept introduction:
Osmosis is the process in which the water molecules move from a region of low solute concentration to that of high solute concentration, to maintain osmoregularity. Many aquatic organisms that thrive in different concentrations of salts, such as in estuaries regulate their internal salt concentration with that of the external salt concentration.

1. Based on Graphicsa) Where is the position of the marine biota zone, make a zone inhabited by stenohaline and euryhaline groups. Explain!b) Why is the number of estuary water species the least compared to the other two biota groups?
2. Where is the productivity of plankton in the neritic and oceanic layers high? what is the reason for this?
HOTSPOT ANSWER
Question 18
After pulling in their fishing nets, Juniper discovered a species of fish they hadn't
seen before. The fish has large gills, a swim bladder, a streamlined body, and
well-developed muscles that can withstand changes in pressure.
Press the hotspot that indicates the water layer where this fish most likely lives.
Hint: If it can withstand changes in pressure, it's probably swimming be-
tween zones.

- Q4.16. Your colleague designed a common garden experiment to determine if moisture level influences competition between a native alga and an exotic alga. The design includes four plot types: wet with native only, wet with exotic only, wet with both algae, and dry with both algae. The results are below. Plot Native alga Wet: native only Grew well Wet: exotic only n/a Exotic alga n/a Grew well Wet: both algae Grew well Dry: both algae Went extinct Grew well Went extinct You note that his experimental design is incomplete and, as a result, he cannot support one of the following conclusions. Which conclusion is NOT supported? The native alga's fundamental niche includes wet habitats. The exotic alga's fundamental niche includes wet abitats. The exotic alga competitively excludes the native alga in dry habitats.

- some of the Adélie colonies in this area. Which statement is supported by both the text and the excerpt above? All three penguin species, Chinstrap, Adelie, and Gentoo, live only on sea ice. The food supply for Adelie penguins includes both fish and krill in the Antarctic seas. Adelie penguins are dependent on the existence of sea ice for access to their food supply. Temperatures in the Antarctic have increased substantially in the last 60 years.arrow_forwardQ4.16.
