- Subtitle “Marine Food Web”. Research the marine organism that you played in the food web activity: what eats it and who it eats. Fit the organism into a balanced marine ecosystem. What are the trophic relationships in your design? What would happen to the food web if one species were to become endangered or extinct? Which species would be affected? Which ecosystem would be affected?
- Write the answers to the above questions as one paragraph.
- Describe the class activity and record your 1/28 exit ticket.
1a. The food wed in an important part to all organisms. In the ocean every organism in the ocean is very important to one another. One animal eats another animal who eats another animal. Without cretin animals the food chain would slowly start to die. They all need each other for food.
1b. The class activity that we did was a fun activity.I enjoyed it, it really showed how much the food chain is connected and how every organism big and small are important in there own way. The activity showed us that with out some animals other animals would not be able to eat, therefor they would not be able to survive.
- Subtitle “Phytoplankton”. The second activity you did was to learn about the neuston ecosystem and look at diatoms under the microscope.
- Explain why phytoplankton is so important to marine food webs. Identify the organisms that are in the neuston ecosystem, and how much of Earth’s surface this ecosystem covers.
- Write up your diatom lab results in a single paragraph. This includes
i.Hypotheses from page 3.
ii.Activity 1 results on page 5.
iii.Conclude and communicate on page 5.
1a. Plankton is important becuase they provide food for almost all the organisms that are living in the ocean. Plankton also take up about 71% of the oceans there are so many of them.
1b. Diatoms are very small organisms, they can only be seen under a microscope
