Unit 4 Marine Bio
This fucking Marine Bio stuff that I need to know to be a big boi.
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Shallow submerged extensions of the continent. | Continental Shelf |
| Relating to, or occurring in the open ocean. | Pelagic |
| The location of pelagic animals in the upper 200m of the ocean. | Epipelagic |
| Relating to, or occurring at the bottom of the ocean. | Benthic |
| Organic: accumulation of marine stuff. | Biogenous |
| Erosion of land, volcanoes, dust. | Terrigenous |
| Dust from outer space, meteorite debris. | Cosmogenous |
| Precipitation of dissolved minerals, by bacteria. | Hydrogenous |
| small microscopic organisms, that drift and float in the ocean and freshwater. | Plankton |
| Aquatic animals that are able to swim freely, | Nekton |
| A fish that lives close to the floor of a sea or lake. | Demersal |
| Organisms that live on the ocean bottom. | Epifauna |
| Organisms that live the sediments. | Infauna |
| Organisms that are so small that they live amongst the grains of substrate. | Meiofauna |
| Bioturbation is the reworking of soils and sediments by animals or plants. Its effects include changing the texture of sediments. | Biotubators |
| is an organism that lives on the surface of another living organism. | Epibionts |
| Absorbing the products of digestion. | Absorptive Feeder |
| Engulf sediments and process food in the sediment. | Deposit Feeder |
| Kills and feeds on other animals. | Predator |
| Filters plankton and small things from the water. | Filter Feeder |
| Feeds on poop and dead stuff. | Detrivore |
| Quick locate dead animals and feed based on opportunity. | Scavenger |
| Eats other animals. | Carnivore |
| Eats other plants. | Herbivore |
| Filter food suspend in water column. | Suspension Feeder |
| An organism that decomposes organic material. | Decomposer |
| Holoplankton are organisms that are planktonic for their entire life cycle. | Holoplankton |
| Meroplankton consists of larval stages of organisms | Meroplankton |
| Heterotrophic plankton. | Zooplankton |
| Phytoplankton are the autotrophic components of the plankton community. | Phytoplankton |
| a name given to a layer in the ocean consisting of a variety of marine animals. | Deep Scattering Layer |
| Patchiness | |
| Marine snow is a shower of organic material falling from upper waters to the deep ocean. | Marine Snow |
| a series of shallow, slow, counter-rotating vortices at the ocean's surface aligned with the wind | Langmuir Cell |
| The amount of pore spaces for air, food, and water held between gains. | Porosity |
| Measure the age of the sediments. | Maturity |
| Measure of uniformity in grain size. | Sorting |
| an area of the ocean floor where hydrogen sulfide, methane and other hydrocarbon-rich fluid seepage occurs. | Cold Seep |
| Holes in the mantle that spew out magma at the bottom of the ocean. | Hydro-thermal Vents |
| an air-filled bladder or sac found in certain animals and plants. | Air Bladder |
| Spilling out entrails to provide a meal for the predator while the host makes an escape. | Evisceration |
| hold (developing eggs) within the body. | Brooding |
| a form of asexual reproduction in which a new organism develops from an outgrowth or bud due to cell division at one particular site. | Budding |
| Living debris in the water. | Seston |
| Nonliving debris in the water. | Tripton |
| he bacterial component of the plankton that drifts in the water column. | Bacterioplankton |
| bacteria plankton- thought to be most photosynthetic organisms in the early biomass | Viriplankton |
| Moving | Kinetic |
| Non moving | Akinetic |
| Plankton which break the surface of the water with their gas bladders or bubbles. | Neuston |
| Plankton which break the surface of the water with their gas bladders or bubbles. | Pleuston |
| Movement of predators in patchy fractal patterns. | Levy Walks |
| Name the classifications of plankton. | 1.Taxonomic group 2.Motility 3.Size 4.Life History 5. Spacial Distribution. |
| Name the 3 ways to classify sediment. | 1.Porosity 2. Maturity 3. Sorting |
