    Energy
  • What process does Krill go through to stay alive?
    Cellular respiration
  • What do the snot worms do to a whale carcass in order to get its energy?
    Break down bones to get the fats & protein from inside.

    Higher
  • What level would the carbon dioxide be at before a whale fall? Use one of the following words: "High", "Higher", "Low", "Lower", "Lowest"
    Low
  • What do Whales eat?

  • What 3 things do phytoplankton need to do the process that they do to stay alive?
    Sunlight, CO2, & H2O
  • What process do whales do in order to stay alive?
    Cellular respiration
  • What does Krill eat?

  • There is no light, no plants, and very little oxygen in the seafloor system. What level would Oxygen be at after the whale fall decomposes? Use one of the following words: "High", "Higher", "Low", "Lower", or "Lowest"
    Lowest
  • What are the inputs of a octopus?
    Food & O2 from the water
  • What does a snot worm need as a input?
    Food & O2 from water

    Photosynthesis
  • What do phytoplankton get energy from?
    The sun

    Higher
  • Where do octopus get their energy & matter from?
    Eating whale parts, not bones. This food gives them energy & matter.
  • What area of the ocean do whales live around?

    CO2 & H2O
  • Where does the O2 come from that a snot worm needs to live?
    The water
