LS.5.1.2 What is the function of the respiratory system?

• 1. Break down food

• 1. Send messages from the brain to other body parts

• Movement, structure and support

• Exchange gases

LS.5.2.1 Which aquatic ecosystem is most suitable for the food chain of orcas, sea otters, sea urchins and kelp? What evidence best supports your claim?

• Oceans because these organisms need to live in salt water.

• Lakes because these organisms need to live in water.

• 1. Oceans because these organisms need to live in salt water and have food sources.

• 1. Lakes because these organisms need to live in water and have food sources.

LS.5.2.2 Whales living in the Pacific Ocean hunt a variety of sea animals including sea otters. The sea otters eat a diet of clams and sea urchins. Sea urchins eat seaweed called kelp. 

Which model represents the relationship of where the organisms get food and energy in the Pacific Ocean?

• kelp → sea urchins → sea otters  → orcas

• 1. sea urchins → kelp → orcas  → sea otters

• kelp → sea urchins → orcas  → sea otters

• orcas → sea otters → sea urchins → kelp

LS.5.2.2 Whales living in the Pacific Ocean hunt a variety of sea animals including sea otters. The sea otters eat a diet of clams and sea urchins. Sea urchins eat seaweed called kelp. 

What is the role of each organism in the ocean ecosystem?

• 1.  kelp (producer) →    sea urchins (producer) →    sea otters  (producer) →  orcas

              (consumer)

  
  

• 1. kelp (producer) →    sea urchins (consumer) →    sea otters  (producer) →  orcas

              (consumer)

• 1. kelp (producer) →    sea urchins (consumer) →    sea otters  (consumer) →  orcas

              (consumer)

• 1. kelp (consumer) →    sea urchins (consumer) →    sea otters  (consumer) →  orcas

              (producer)

LS.5.2.3 Orcas living in the Pacific Ocean hunt a variety of sea animals including sea otters. The sea otters eat a diet of sea urchins. Sea urchins eat seaweed called kelp. 

What would most likely happen to the other organisms  if there was an increase in the orca population?

• 1. kelp  (decrease)     →     sea urchin  (increase)    →      sea otter  (decrease)    →   orca (increase)

  
  

• 1. kelp  (decrease)     →     sea urchin  (decrease)    →      sea otter  (decrease)    →   orca (increase)

• 1. kelp  (decrease)     →     sea urchin  (increase)    →      sea otter  (increase)    →   orca (increase)

• 1. kelp  (decrease)     →     sea urchin  (decrease)    →      sea otter  (increase)    →   orca (increase)
