Chapter 8 aquatic life zones The aquatic equivalents of biomes are called aquatic life zones. benthos The third type, benthos, consists of bottom dwellers such as oysters, which anchor themselves to one spot; clams and worms, which burrow into the sand or mud; and lobsters and crabs, which walk about on the sea floor. coastal wetlands coastal land areas covered with water all or part of the year coastal zone the warm, nutrient-rich, shallow water that extends from the high-tide mark on land to the gently sloping, shallow edge of the?continental shelf. coral reefs form in clear, warm coastal waters of the tropics and subtropics. cultural eutrophication

Christian Boujaoude August 17, 2014 AP Environmental Science Pd. 10 Daly FRQ Chapter 1 1. a.) A feasible explanation for the algal bloom in the pond could be that there was too much fertilizer applied to the lawn. Some of the run-off from the rain flowed down the lawn and went into the pond. This would then increase the nutrient supply in the pond and resulted in the algal bloom a few weeks later.

Invertebrates sponges, segmented worms, echinoderms, mollusks, and arthropods They do not have backbones or internal skeletons.? Some have external skeletons, called exoskeletons ??? Sponges -Very simple animals that have many pores (holes) through which water flows. -Water moves into a central cavity and out through a hole in the top. -obtain their food and eliminate wastes through this passage of water. -They have specialized cells for obtaining food and oxygen from the water. ??? Cnidarians -Hollowed-body animals with cells organized into tissues. -Have tentacles surrounding their mouth that contain stinging cells used to help capture its prey. -Have radial symmetry and two different body forms: polyp and medusa. -Examples are sea anemones, hydra, corals, and sea jellies. ???

Ocean Acidification What is ocean acidification? (OA) A reduction in ocean pH due to the uptake of anthropogenic CO2. The Amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is increasing We are at the highest level of CO2 we?ve had in a millions years Debates about the effects of high CO2 levels and its cause Not open for discussion The Chemistry of the ocean is dependent on the chemistry of the atmosphere Natural process If you increase CO2 in atmosphere by diffusion you increase the CO2 levels in the ocean What we do to the atmosphere, we also do to the ocean OCEAN IS NOT AN ACID Ocean is becoming less basic, not more acidic Chemistry of it: CO2 reacts with H20 HCO3 (bicarbonate) H (hydrogen) CO2 + H2O => HCO3 + H Water becomes more acidic the more CO2 it contains

Water Pollution The contamination of some body of water due to human activity that has some type of negative impact on organisms Point Sources: Distinct locations that pump waste into a waterway (you can point to it. Ex; This pipeline is leaking waste) Located at specific places Easy to identify, monitor, and regulate Non-Point Sources: different areas such as an entire farming region that pollutes a waterway (The bottle that?s floating in the ocean) Broad, diffuse areas Difficult to identify and control Expensive to clean up Human Wastewater Water produced by human activities such as human sewage from toilets and gray water from bathing and washing clothes our dishes Bacteria in wastewater sucks out the oxygen in it

Ecology is the scientific study of the interactions between organisms and the environment. 2. Study Figure 52.2 in your text. It shows the different levels of the biological hierarchy studied by ecologists. Notice also the different types of questions that might be studied by an ecologist at each level of study. Use this figure to define or explain the following terms: organismal ecology: Organismal ecology, which includes the subdisciplines of physiological, evolutionary, and behavioral ecology, is concerned with how an organism?s

Freshwater chapter AP Environmental case study: The case study for this chapter is centered on the Colorado River and Las Vegas. The river supplies many states with the necessary water for people to live in the area, but as of late the river has been drained. This is due in part to the city of Las Vegas using ?more than their fair share? of the water. The city is in the middle of a very dehydrated area and as a result the city uses more and more water each year as it grows. This is considered and environmental concern in that the freshwater from the river is being consumed at a rate considered to be unsustainable to the current state of freshwater usage. Without any signs of water usage slowing in Las Vegas and other cities, the river is gradually being drained away.
