Textbook Question
Chapter 41.2, Problem 4CC
MAKE CONNECTIONS Rising atmospheric CO2 levels lead to ocean acidification (see Figure 2.24) and global warming, both of which can reduce krill abundance. Predict how a drop in krill abundance might affect other organisms in the food web shown in Figure 41.14. Which organisms are particularly at risk? Explain.

Consider a trophiccascade with 4 levels: 1) predatory fish that consume planktivorous fish, 2) planktivorous fish that consume zooplankton,3) herbivorous zoplankton that consume phytoplankton, and 4) phytoplankton.
True or False: A reduction in predatory fish will increase the level of phytoplankton.
True
False
Construct your model of the food chain/web by moving and linking (using arrows leading from those that eat and those that are eaten) all 8 images of the different species (trophic components).

- 1) Listen Pythons in the Florida Everglades escaped from pet stores during Hurricane Andrew in 1992. Now, populations of pythons have exploded and taken over many parts of the Everglades. Why has this happened even though pythons are not native to Florida? O A) Humans have increased the amount of nitrogen & phosphorous from agricultural runoff in the Everglades that the snakes need to feed on. B) Humans have altered the climate in Florida to support large snakes. C) There were no constraints on python population growth that the snakes would normally encounter in their native habitats D) Humans selectively bred for larger pythons E) Both C & D are correct Question 39 (1 point) 1) Listen If vou havea ponulation where @ 24 & 2 * 3 7 8.

The more important the factors are for the larvae, the thicker the lines. Suppose changes from question 1 take place. Draw a new figure and redefine the thickness of the lines and new factor interactions. This is from question 1 : A proposal is made to deepen the entrance and main channel of an estuary. What do you suppose will happen to the salt marshes that surround the channel? What do you predict will happen to the productivity of the estuary? Deeper channels would probably change the mixing of the fresh and saltwater and lead to increased salinity and changes in the salt wedges in the channel. This would probably negatively impact the plants on the edges of the channel, as they would have to deal with higher salt levels than they are adapted to. The strain that would be put on the plants (like cordgrasses) in the marshes, would most likely lead to a…arrow_forward
