Salt water animals (save for the few that actually can live in either salt water or fresh water) can not survive in fresh water because their cells are isotonic to the salt water, but they would be highly hypertonic to the fresh water.

That is to say, the concentration of salt within the organism's cells would be equal to the concentration of salt in the salt water, but would be far higher than the concentration of salt in the fresh water, and thus osmosis would be triggered, and the cells would "lyce" (when a cell lyces, it means it bursts due to an overabundant amount of water being forced into the cell)

The abiotic conditions of mountain ranges vary with altitude, resulting in changes in temperature, precipitation, and air pressure. Biotic conditions also vary due to factors like vegetation types, animal adaptations, and species distributions. Together, these variations contribute to the unique ecosystems found at different elevations on mountain ranges.

In a marine biome, you can go snorkeling to observe colorful fish and corals, take a boat tour to spot marine mammals like dolphins and whales, or go kayaking to explore coastal ecosystems like mangroves and sandbars. You could also try scuba diving to discover underwater caves and shipwrecks.

It is important to discover new species because the new discoveries help us understand previously known species even better. The behaviors and characteristics of a new species can explain habitual mysteries in an existing species.

Building a new highway can lead to changes in the cycling of matter by altering the landscape, disrupting ecosystems, and increasing impervious surfaces, which can impact water quality and runoff patterns. The construction process can also result in the disturbance of soil and vegetation, affecting nutrient cycling and habitat availability for certain species. Additionally, increased vehicular traffic on the new highway can contribute to air pollution, which can impact nutrient cycling in ecosystems.

Marine ecosystems may not support rich ecosystems and large numbers of fish due to factors such as overfishing, habitat destruction, pollution, climate change, and invasive species. These factors can disrupt the balance of the ecosystem, leading to declines in fish populations and overall biodiversity.

Building houses on grassland would disrupt the existing food chain by altering habitats for wildlife, causing displacement and potential loss of species. This can lead to a decrease in biodiversity in the area, impacting the balance of the ecosystem and potentially causing food scarcity for certain animals that rely on the grassland for food.

The major types of biomes are tropical rainforest, temperate forest, grassland, desert, taiga (boreal forest), and tundra. These biomes are defined by their unique climate, vegetation, and biodiversity characteristics. Each biome plays a critical role in supporting various species and ecological processes.

To become a marine biologist, you typically need at least a bachelor's degree in marine biology or a related field such as biology or zoology. However, most positions in marine biology require a master's or Ph.D. for more advanced research or teaching roles. Additional experience through internships or research projects is also valuable for career advancement in this field.

A person can float in saltwater because it is denser than freshwater. The salt in the water increases its density, making it easier for objects like the body to float. This difference in density is why a person can float in saltwater but not in freshwater.

The Bay of Fundy has extremely high tides, creating a large difference between high and low tide levels. At low tide, parts of the ocean floor are exposed, allowing for walking. The unique topography of the bay contributes to these extreme tidal changes.

Yes, deep lakes have zones similar to those in the marine biome. These zones include the littoral zone (shallow water near the shoreline), the limnetic zone (open water further from the shore and above the benthic zone), and the benthic zone (bottom of the lake). Each zone has its own unique characteristics and supports different types of organisms adapted to those conditions.

A coral reef is a community of organisms that exist in shallower ocean depths. The key component is coral, which often forms the foundation of the reef ecosystem. Coral species may either be photosynthetic or non-photosynthetic, however, the foundational species as well as the predominant majority are often photosynthetic.

Most people define a 'reef' as a 'coral reef', but there are however manmade reefs, often called artificial reefs. These reefs are usually made from scrap material such as bridge rubble, or sunken ships. I would also call underwater rock formations that are often inhabited by various marine species a type of reef as well.

Yes, the ocean is considered a biome. It is the largest biome on Earth, covering about 70% of the planet's surface. Ocean biomes are home to a wide variety of marine life, ranging from microscopic phytoplankton to massive whales.

A marine biome does not receive rain as it is an aquatic environment. It may receive precipitation in the form of snow or sleet if the temperature is low enough, but rain is not common in marine biomes.

The Galapagos Marine Reserve: Galapagos, Ecuador; is one of the biggest marine sanctuaries in the world. The Trinity River National Wildlife Refuge: Texas, USA, protects miles of bottom-land ecosystem and animal habitat. Alaska National Maritime Wildlife Refuge: Alaska, USA, protects millions of acres of habitat and native wildlife. It is spread out along most of the 47,300 miles of Alaska's coastline. Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge: Florida, USA, protects 92% of the Okefenokee swamp and the animals and habitat associated with it.

The freshwater biome covers only 0.8% of the total water on this Earth, yet the water which makes up this biome are distributed unevenly throughout the globe. As a result the climate of these Biomes is greatly diverse depending on the region.

The food chain in the Great Barrier Reef begins with the producers like giant kelp and phytoplankton. The primary consumers are zooplankton and dugong. The secondary consumers are things like the anemonefish and the whale shark. Third level consumers are the manta ray and the blue-ringed octopus. The Apex predators in the Great Barrier Reef are tiger sharks and moray eels.

Indiana University and Purdue University both offer marine biology courses through their respective biology or environmental science programs. Additionally, some smaller colleges like Earlham College or Saint Mary's College may offer courses in marine biology or related fields. It is recommended to check the specific course offerings at each institution to determine the availability of marine biology courses.

If you mean, "How long ago did it occur," then the actual explosion that triggered the spill occurred on April 20th, 2010. If you are referring to the duration of the spill, then it is technically still an issue.

Asian rainforests are found from eastern and southern Pakistan to Indonesia. Bangladesh has the manipur kachin rainforests of east India and the sunder ban rainforests which fall just in the rainforest category.

Over fishing started about in the 1950's. since then it has largley increaed cause of the growing numbers of illegal fishermen. And now a group calles Dinuka gergouse hadusinghe known as PLumika is stopping this. this is the worst threat our ocean can face.
