Our Troubled Waters- 100 Points This type of pollution comes from a specific source, like the Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill. What is point pollution?

Our Troubled Waters- 200 Points This type of pollution comes from a non-specific source, like fertilizers washing into rivers and out to the Puget Sound. What is nonpoint pollution?

Our Troubled Waters- 300 Points This threat to the marine environment occurs when non-target organisms are accidentally caught in fishing nets. What is bycatch?

Our Troubled Waters- 400 Points This major threat to the marine environment is caused by an increased greenhouse effect and can result in melting of polar ice caps, warmer ocean water, and ocean acidification. What is climate change or global warming or increased atmospheric carbon?

Our Troubled Waters- 500 Points This threat to the marine environment is caused by non-native species taking over an area and taking resources from native species.. What are invasive species?

Biowhat? 100 points This organism is typically exposed to the most toxins in a food chain. What is top level (tertiary) consumer?

Biowhat? 200 points This is the buildup of toxins, like PCBs, in an individual organism. What is bioaccumulation?

Biowhat? 300 points This is the increase in toxins as you move up the food chain, resulting in the top level consumer consuming the most toxins. What is biomagnification?

DAILY DOUBLE – Biowhat? 400 points Male transient orca whales accumulate the most toxins due to the fact that they are unable to offload any toxins like the females and this. What is their position in the food chain- one step higher than resident orcas?

Biowhat? 500 points A species of sea urchin has 10 µg/g of mercury, a sea otter eats approximately 400 g of sea urchin daily. This is the amount of mercury the sea otter accumulates in one day. What is 4,000 µg of mercury per day?

Welcome to my Crib (Habitats)- 100 Points These organisms are usually small and drift or float with the currents. What are plankton?

Welcome to my Crib (Habitats)- 200 Points This marine habitat is found where tectonic activity releases sulfides into the water and special bacteria take in the sulfides providing energy for the rest of the ecosystem. What are hydrothermal vents?

Welcome to my Crib (Habitats)- 300 Points What are the 6 physical factors that organisms must adapt to in the oceans. What are obtaining oxygen, regulating salt intake, pressure, wind and waves, light availability, and temperature extremes?

Welcome to my Crib (Habitats)- 400 Points This type of organism is found along the ocean bottom and include sea anemones, coral, and crab. What are benthos?

Welcome to my Crib (Habitats)- 500 Points This marine habitat is found in one of the coldest places of the Northern Hemisphere and characterized by an abundance of plankton as well as polar bears and many whales. What is the Arctic Ocean?
