Osmoregulation is
when water loses its transparency due to the presence of suspended particulates
a behavioral, structural or physiological trait that increases a species chance of survival in a specific environment
when the body temperature of fish changes as the surrounding water temperature changes
where fish regulate their intake of saltwater or freshwater to keep their fluids, such as blood, from becoming too salty or too dilute.
The organisms that can tolerate wide range of Salinity is called
Eurythermal
Stenohaline
Euryhaline
Stenothermal

How is a food web different from a food chain?
Food webs contain only producers, not consumers.
Food webs do not include decomposers.
Food webs contain many different, linked food chains.
Food webs exist in aquatic environments; food chains exist in terrestrial environments.
What is a benefit of being an ectotherm?
Ectotherms are less active in cooler temperatures and have to warm up before they are more active.
Ectotherms are not capable of activity during the winter as they can't warm up enough.
Ectotherms are unable to increase respiration rates to generate internal heat.
They use less of their energy in respiration.
What is a disadvantage of being an ectotherm?
They need to find less food.
They may be able to survive for long periods of time without eating.
They have to have sufficient stores of energy to survive over winter without eating
A greater proportion of the energy obtained from food can be used for growth.

shark
rays
puffer fish
Which is an example of a cartilaginous fish?
lampreys
hagfish
shark
puffer fish
Which is an example of a bony fish?
shark
ray
lamprey
puffer fish
Select the adaptations aquatic invertebrates use to acquire oxygen.
Small gills along the body or tail.
Little holes along their body to absorb dissolved oxygen from the water.
Breathing tubes they raise from the water into the air.
They carry a small bubble of air underwater with them from the surface.
Select the adaptations plants have for living submerged in water.
Large air spaces or channels running through the leaves, stems and roots.
Floating leaves.
Leaves divided into many deep, narrow segments.
Small holes along the stem.
