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.
Characterize the animal-like protists (protozoa) based on the following parameters.
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?

- Refer to the description and table below to answer the three question that follow: Dissolved oxygen levels from 3 bottles of algae were recorded. The DO level of bottle #1 was recorded immediately after the algae was collected, the DO level of bottle #2 was recorded after sitting for 20 hours wrapped in tin-foil, and the DO level of bottle #3 was recorded after sitting for 20 hours under a lamp. A heat sink was placed over all of the bottles to ensure that temperature did not have an effect on the results. The following data was collected: Bottle Number D.O. Level 8 #1 #2 1 #3 6 4.

This flowchart helps distinguish among organisms by asking questions that have one of two possible answers. As a result, this flowchart can also be called a dichotomous key (from Greek dikho- 'in two' + temnein 'to cut'). Complete the flowchart by properly placing these genera: Bacillus, Corynebacterium, Escherichia, Mycobacterium, Neisseria, and Staphylococcus. You may need to look up additional information about these genera.
