What are some adaptations that allow marine plants to survive in salt water?

What is the difference between cyanobacteria and algae?

Why is cyanobacteria important to our existence today?

Match each algae to its phylum

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Dinophyta		Brown algae
Phaeophyta		Golden algae
Euglenophyta		Green algae
Rhodophyta		Diatoms
Chlorophyta		Dinoflagellates
Chrysophyta		Red Algae
Baccilariophyta		Euglena

Marine Vertebrates

What is a Vertebrate?

Has a spine

Has no spine

Has no adaptations

A mammal

There are some marine amphibians that exist.

True

False

How do they breathe?

Fish
Reptiles
Birds
Mammals

Lungs
Gills

How do they reproduce?

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Reptiles		Live birth
Mammals		Hard shelled Eggs
Birds		Soft shell-less eggs
Fish		Soft shelled eggs

What protects their body?

Birds
Reptiles
Fish
Mammals

Scales
Fur
Feathers

Marine Invertebrates

Match the Phylum to its meaning.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Phylum Mollusca		Pore bearing
Phylum Annelida		Stinging
Phylum Cnidaria		Flat worms
Phylum Echinodermata		Round Worms
Phylum Porifera		Segmented Worms
Phylum Nematoda		Soft Body
Phylum Platyhelminthes		Jointed Feet
Phylum Arthropoda		Spiny Skin

Marine Mammals

Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of Marine Mammals?

Produce milk and give birth to live young

Usually have hair or blubber

Soft shelled eggs

Breathe air with lungs

True or False. Marine Mammals depend on the sea for survival.

True

False

Pinniped
Carnivora
Sirenians
Cetaceans

Pinniped (3)
Carnivora (3)
Sirenians (3)
Cetaceans (5)

Match the adaptation type to the adaptation.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Sensory adaptation		Have a high tolerance to lactic acid and carbon dioxide. Their muscles can work anaerobically (without oxygen) while they hold their breath.
Swimming adaptations		A large body with a small surface-to-volume ratio reduces heat loss. Blubber or thick underfur is used as insulation.
Deep diving		Drag is reduced by hydrodynamic body forms.
Thermoregulation		Most marine mammals rarely drink fresh water; instead, they: Utilize water present in their food, inspired air, and blubber.
Water Conservation		Marine mammals communicate underwater with sound, and many species use sound (echolocation) to locate prey.
