1. let’s get ahead OF OUR WORK!
LET’S BE REALLY PROACTIVE!!!

2. here’s a satellite shot of eutrophication
Do you remember
what this is???

3. phytoplankton (like algae)
M_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ A_ _ _ _ _ _ P _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

4. phytoplankton (like algae)
MICROSCOPIC AQUATIC PHOTOSYNTHESIZERS

5. Which makes more oxygen gas for us to breathe?
terrestrial plants & trees
aquatic plants & phytoplankton

6. phytoplankton give us 50-85% of earth’s oxygen!!!
almost all life would be dead without them!

7. Get your chromebooks & google “what is phytoplankton?”
LIST 5 SPECIFIC TYPES OF PHYTOPLANKTON IN YOUR NOTES HERE:

8. THESE 5 PHYTOPLANKTON MAKE UP THE BASE OF MOST FOOD WEBS
5 TYPES OF PHYTOPLANKTON
CYANOBACTERIA
DIATOMS
DINOFLAGELLATES
GREEN ALGAE
COCOLITHOPHORES
PICK ANY 2

9. FIND THREE SPECIES THAT WOULD EAT EACH OF THESE PRODUCERS.
consumers of CYANOBACTERIA
consumers of GREEN ALGAE

10. FIND THREE SPECIES THAT WOULD EAT EACH OF THESE PRODUCERS.
consumers of CYANOBACTERia
consumers OF GREEN ALGAE
SEA CUCUMBERS
CERITH SNAILS
SPINY STAR ASTRAEA
NERITE SNAILS
TWIG CATFISH
BRISTLENOSE PLECOS

11. Phytoplankton make up the base of many FOOD WEBS!

12. What are FOOD WEBS?

13. FOOD WEBS show the relationshipS between producers (plants & phytoplankton) & consumers (eaters of plants, phytoplankton & even other consumers!)
Plants & phytoplankton are at the bottom of most food webs.

14. FOOD WEBS show the relationshipS between producers (plants & phytoplankton) & consumers (eaters of plants, phytoplankton & even other consumers!)
Plants & phytoplankton are at the bottom of most food webs.
They make their own food (PRODUCERS).

15. FOOD WEBS show the relationshipS between producers (plants & phytoplankton) & consumers (eaters of plants, phytoplankton & even other consumers!)
Plants & phytoplankton are at the bottom of most food webs.
They make their own food (PRODUCERS).
They don’t eat…they’re just eaten!

ARROWS in food webs always point TOWARDS the CONSUMER

17. You’ve already begun to make a food web…
a FOOD WEB that will be DUE IN APRIL!!!!
sea
cucumber
twig
catfish
cyanobacteria
green algae

18. now FIND AT LEAST TWO things that will eat your primary consumers…
YOU SHOULD HAVE 20 DIFFERENT CREATURES ON YOUR FOOD WEB! a food web that will be due in APRIL!!
triggerfish
sea
cucumber
twig
catfish
cyanobacteria
green algae

19. Finally, FIND at least ONE CONSUMER WHO WILL EAT EACH OF YOUR 12 SECONDARY CONSUMERS
YOU SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST 32 DIFFERENT CREATURES ON YOUR FOOD WEB! a food web that will be due in APRIL!!
dolphin
triggerfish
sea
cucumber
twig
catfish
cyanobacteria
green algae

20. be SPECIES SPECIFIC for APRIL!!
be accurate!
be SPECIES SPECIFIC for APRIL!!
