(02.01 MC) Researchers find an interesting geological formation on the ocean floor. How can they tell whether plates are colliding or moving apart due to spreading seafloor in this region? (3 points)

(02.05 HC) The graph below shows ocean data relating to climate change. As the levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere and in seawater increase, the pH of seawater decreases. Using the graph and your knowledge of marine science, what can you predict about the role of the ocean in affecting CO2 levels in the future and why?

(03.03 LC) A wave is traveling at a constant speed. The frequency is 2 Hertz, and the wavelength is 1 meter. How would the wave properties change if the wavelength decreased from 1 to 0.5 while the speed stayed the same?

(03.06 LC) In which zone would you expect to find the greatest abundance of marine organisms? (3 points)

(02.06 LC) Which cellular process in plants uses oxygen and breaks down organic molecules to release stored energy and produce carbon dioxide? (3 points)

Petri dishes are inoculated with fungi using the same methods/procedures as those used for bacteria. 

When growth in a tube is seen only on the upper layer of broth, this indicates the bacteria is 

Urea test contains phenol red as a pH indicator. A positive test will appear what color?

(01.03 HC) Use the figure below to review the reactants and products of photosynthesis and respiration. With respect to carbon dioxide and oxygen concentrations, what trends would you expect to see in the epipelagic vs. the mesopelagic zones? Why? (3 points) © 2016 CC-BY
