Introduction to Oceanography Dr. Bob Griffin ______________________ Name Test 5 01 May 2007 For each of the questions below, choose the one BEST answer from the choices provided. 1. A euryhaline organism would be poorly adapted to living in coastal environments. True False 2. The neritic province is associated with the continental shelf True False 3. The depth of the oxygen minimum is found in the bathypelagic zone True False 4. The euphotic zone is contained entirely within the epipelagic zone. True False 5. Which of the following is NOT a Kingdom of life? Monera Plantae Archaea Animalia Protista 6. Which of the following correctly contains the name of all three domains? Eukarya, Prokarya, Protista Eukarya, Prokarya, Archaea Plantae, Animalia, Bacteria Archaea, Eukarya, Bacteria Life, Death, the in-between state 7. Which of the following word pairs correctly link a descriptor with the way in which the organism lives in the ocean? benthos - drift benthos - swim nekton - bottom-dwelling nekton - swim plankton - bottom-dwelling 8. With respect to their marine environment, these organisms can be referred to as:  benthos heterotrophs nekton plankton predators  9. Nekton are restricted to particular ocean areas by : availability of food differences in water pressure with depth changes in salinity temperature variations with latitude and depth all of the above conditions may restrict the distribution of nekton 10. All of the following are adaptive solutions employed by marine organisms to prevent sinking except: building a flotation mechanism such as an air bladder decreasing density decreasing cellular fat content increasing drag in the water increasing the surface area to volume ratio 11. Euryhaline organisms: are less common than stenohaline organisms can survive wide salinity fluctuations only tolerate small temperature changes require less oxygen for survival tolerate a narrow range of salinities 12. Organisms that cannot w
