Textbook Question
Chapter 25, Problem 9TYU
FOCUS ON INTERACTIONS
Organisms interact with each other and the physical environment. In a short essay (100‒150 words), explain how the response of diatom populations to a drop in nutrient availability can affect both other organisms and aspects of the physical environment (such as carbon dioxide concentrations).

Describe at least one adaptation that allows a) planktonic organisms such as diatoms or jellyfish to stay in the photo zone (where light penetrates the water), and b) marine birds to thrive in the salt marsh/tidal environment.
Please add link to answer
Phytoplankton like diatoms and dinoflagellates are critical organisms in the world oceans. They are essential primary producers and an important link in energy transfer relationships. How do diatoms and dinoflagellates differ?
How do differences in abiotic environments affect the physiology and morphology of species? Give an example of one physiological adaptation and one morphological adaptation for an autotroph. Explain all your terms and give 2 different adaptations.

While studying these bacteria, you note that their internal environment is similar to the salt concentrations in their surroundings. You also discover that the internal salt concentrations of the bacteria change as the salt concentration in their environment changes. The new species can tolerate small changes in this way, but dies from large changes because it has no mechanism for altering its own internal salt levels. What type of homeostatic mechanism is this species using to regulate its internal salt levels? regulation integration assimilation conformationarrow_forwardHow are some organisms able to survive in such harsh environments?
