This organism has a special adaptation that allows it to absorb oxygen. Where would you see this organism?

• Desert, where there is little water and hot temperatures.

• Tundra, where the animal lives at high altitudes and there is less breathable oxygen.

• Marine, Saltwater or freshwater where the oxygen must be absorbed from the water.

• All organisms have this adaptation.

To which condition do all species in the ocean depths have to adapt?

• lower salinity
• extreme pressure
• swift ocean currents
• hot water temperature

Which best explains the importance of estuaries?

• estuaries are freshwater areas that support a large amount of living things

• estuaries are areas where freshwater and saltwater collide, resulting in a large amount of biodiversity

• estuaries are tropical areas that support an abundance of life found usually in cold regions of the ocean

• Estuaries are nutrient-rich areas because they have large amounts of carbon dioxide seeping into the water from the ground below
