  • Give an example of a physical adaption for life in the aphotic zone.
    bioluminescence
  • True or false? Deserts will only have high tempratures.
    False
  • True or false? Deciduous forests have long winters and short summers.
    False
  • True or false? Phytoplankton are the primary producers of the aphotic zone.
    False
  • What biome could this climate graph belong to?
    Temperate forest (Clear seasons, tempratures not too cold, average precipitation)
  • What biome could this climate graph belong to?
    Tundra (Very low tempratures, low percipitation)
  • What adaptions might plants have when living in a desert biome?
    Roots that grow deep for water and tissue that stores water.
  • True or False? Chemotrophic bacteria are the producers of the photic zone.
    False
  • True or false? Plants like seaweed are found in the Limnetic zone.
    False (This is the area of well lit open water)
  • This forest does not lose its leaves in the winter
    Coniferous forest
  • What aquatic ecosystem has an area of especially salty water called a brine pool?
    Cold seep
  • What organism is the producer of freshwater ecosystems?
    Phytoplankton, algea
  • What biome could this climate graph belong to?
    Tropical rainforest ( High temprature all year round, very high percipitation with a dry season).
  • True or false? The photic zone is larger than the aphotic zone.
    False
  • This forest loses its leaves in the winter
    Decidious Forest
  • Give an example of an aquatic ecosystem where chemotrophs are the producers.
    Hydrothermal vents or cold seeps
  • Give an example of a coastal ecosystem with high biodiversity
    Coral reef (Other reasonable answers allowed).
  • What biome could this climate graph belong to?
    Taiga (Long cold winters, short summer, moderate percipitation)
  • True or false? Tropical rain forests have four distinct seasons.
    False
  • Give three limiting factors for an aquatic ecosystem
    Oxygen in water, sunlight, salinity
  • Explain how nutrients are cycled in a freshwater ecosystem.
    In winter the surface water is colder, more dense and will sink carrying oxygen. The ground water is warmer, which rises carrying nutrients.
  • True or false? Fast moving streams and rivers have more oxygen.
    True
  • Some animals make their homes underground to save water, what biome might this happen in?
    Desert
  • Detritivores are commonly found in which zone of a freshwater ecosystem?
    Profundal zone
  • A polar bears thick fur is an example of a _______ adaption to protect from the _____ in ______ biomes
    physical, cold, tundra
  • What biome could this climate graph belong to?
    Desert (Low precipitation, high temp)
  • Hibernating during winter is an example of a...
    Behavioural adaption
  • What adaptions might animals have to survive deserts?
    Nocturnal to avoid sunlight and body conserves water.
  • What word do use to describe the movement of animals with the changing seasons?
    Migration
  • Which forest biome has long winters and short summers?
    Taiga / Boreal forest
