How does water pollution affect aquatic life
Cold water hold more oxygen
How does waters temperatures affect the amount of oxygen in it
Include tiny free floating species of algae are food base of ecosystems Have waxy of slimy coatings protect them from drying out when water levels drop and proud stems or leaves let them absorb minerals right from the water
Plants living in lakes and ponds
Some fish plants or other aquatic life could be washed downstream There would be no long term damage Fresh nutrients would be brought in
Predict the impact of flossing on the organisms in a stream ecosystem
Pond succession would speed up
Predict the impact of sediment and nutrients brought in by storm water runoff on the organisms in a lake
Oxygen levels are high each day while the sun is shining and plants are photosynthesizing but they can drop dramatically at night
Predict the oxygen level in a pond
Saturated soil wet for major part of growing season plants plants specially adapted to live in saturated soil

What is true about invasive species
In a straight stretch of river the main force of the current is in the middle the deepest water is all in the middle When there is there a sharp bend in the river the strongest current and the deepest water is at the outside edge of the bend In flowing water the is less current near the bottom
What is true about streams
The movement of water through the water cycle
What is weather
Rivers lakes and wetlands

Which of the following statements about competition is true
Reeds and other grasslike plants grow in marshes while woody species trees and shrubs thrive in swamps
Which of these statements are true about Missouri wetlands
Most of the a available food energy is lost moving up each tropic level Animals loose energy doing tasks such as jj run and keeping their bodies warm Only a little of the sun's energy passes from one tropic level to the next
Why can most energy pyramid continue for only 4 or 5 tropic levels and support only a few top level consumers
To estimate things without having to count each organism
Why do scientists use sampling
