Finding Nemo Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis

Required

1

The barracuda attacks Marlin's family. Discuss how predation plays a role in natural population control and name one way prey try to overcome predation.

Required

1

Notice that some of the large coral in the video is green. That's because it houses algae. Coral bleaching occurs when water temperatures rise and corals lose algae. Explain how coral bleaching might impact the animals and plants living in coral reef ecosystems. (Be as specific as possible)

Required

1

As fish like Nemo and sea turtles like Crush produce energy through cellular respiration to run away from predators and travel long distances...
a. What gas is released in the process of cellular respiration
b. Why it’s essential for fish to release this gas back into the water.
c. How might an increase in this gas in ocean water impact marine life? (think about the color change demo)

Required

1

This movie features a variety of ocean creatures, some of which can seem a bit creepy or mysterious like the Anglerfish. Look up information and describe a creature from the ocean that you believe is the creepiest. Include details about its unique adaptations, such as how it hunts or survives in the deep sea, that contribute to its eerie appearance.

1

When Dory and Marlin get tired swimming through the jellyfish, what is happening in their cells that causes muscle fatigue?

Required

1

Some of the fish dream of escaping the tank and returning to the ocean. However, releasing aquarium fish into the wild can have serious ecological consequences. Explain why releasing non-native aquarium fish into the ocean can disrupt local ecosystems. What are some specific risks associated with introducing new species into established marine environments?

Required

1

Pelicans, like Nigel, are top predators in some marine food webs. Describe a possible food chain involving the characters in Finding Nemo. Identify each organism's role as a producer, consumer, or decomposer.

Required

1

Oxygen in Earth's early atmosphere was generated by marine organisms such as cyanobacteria, which are sometimes called blue-green algae.

By what process did cyanobacteria oxygenate the atmosphere?

Required

1

Scientists study anaerobic fermentation in hydrothermal deep ocean yeast cells incubated at different temperatures.
The amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) detected at each temperature in two trials is shown in the table.
A.  The products of fermentation are ____________ and ___________.
B.  The optimal fermentation temperature of the deep sea yeast is _______________

Students investigate how light intensity affects the rate of photosynthesis in an aquatic plant in the ocean.

The students recorded their data in the table below.
Which inference is supported by the data?
