Explain the development of an atoll A 500

Coral grows up toward the sun on the sides of a receeding volcano. The coral continues to grow up as the volcano descends

The reef area is dominated by what type of fish? B 100

predator B 100

What creatures contribute to the structure of the reef? B 200

Mollusc shells, Echinoderms, Calcareous algae B 200

What 2 types of tissues are necessary for movement? B 300

Muscle and nerve B 300

Name three environmental conditions necessary for coral to survive. B 400

High light intensity Clear water Salt water Warm water ≥ 65 F B 400

Explain the development of a Barrier reef from a Fringing Reef. B 500

The Fringing reef exists close to shore. Over time, the coral’s seaward edge grows towards the open ocean. The Barrier reef is formed at the edge of the continental shelf. A lagoon forms between the reef’s trailing edge and the land

Name for the larva structure of a cnidarian that is the result of sexual reproduction. C 200

planula C 200

Name the type of symmetry that a coral or jellyfish possess. C 300

radial C 300

DAILY DOUBLE C 400 DAILY DOUBLE Place A Wager

Name for the type of algae found in the tissues of a coral animal C 400

GOLDEN ALGAE gets you half credit ZOOXANTHELLA E gets you full credit C 400

Here’s an easy one Name the type of reef that is close to the shoreline? C 500

Fringing Reef C 500

D 100 What type of rock is formed by the accumulation of dead coral ?

D 100 Limestone (GETS YOU HALF THE POINTS) Arragonite (GETS YOU ALL THE POINTS)

D 200 Soft corals are composed of this material (just like your finger nails)

D 200 Keratin

What other animals besides coral possess algae in their tissues? D 300

Sea Slugs and Jellyfish D 300

Name and describe the area behind the reef but in front of the land. D 400

Channel Calm, shallow, warm D 400

Name the three tissue layers in the body of a coral D 500

Ectoderm or (gastroderm), mesoglea and endoderm

68 F or 20 C E 100

E 200 Name another member of the phylum to which corals belong

Jellyfish, Sea Anemone, hydra E 200

Name the scientist who described the evolution of the atoll. E 300

Charles Darwin E 300

Name the shape of a Cnidarian in which the mouth faces up. E 400

polyp E 400

Name three “things” that the coral provides as a host to the algae living in its tissues. E 500

Carbon dioxide Protection nitrogen E 500

What are the two possible destinations for the food that is absorbed by the gut? F 100

Respiration and growth F 100

If 1,347 g/hr is absorbed by the gut of an animal and 900 g/hr is used in respiration… then how many g/hr. goes to growth? F 200

447 g/hr. F 200

F 300 A whale shark has GROWTH EFFICIENCY of 13%. Is that good, average or bad? Explain.

13% would be could good because the average absorption efficiency is 10% F 300

Is an animal ingests 900kg/day and 395 kg/day are absorbed, what is the ABSORPTION EFFICIENCY? F 400

395/900 X 100 = 43.8%

Solve for growth and absorption efficiencies. F 500 Food Food Indigestible Ingested Absorbed 3,121 g/hr = 820 g/hr g/hr growth respiration 222g/hr 598 g/hr

F / 3,121 x 100 = 7.1% G E 820/3,121 x 100 = 26.2% AE
