Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
There needs to be a balance of production, distribution, and consumption of goods. Marine ecosystems
have various people and governments dictating which goods to produce, how to produce them, and
how to distribute these goods to the consumers. Information can be found in the section Marine
Resources Are Subject to the Economic Laws of Supply and Demand.



Answer to Question 2

ANS:Answer
should include:
 Organisms that reside in the estuary must be able to adapt to their rich yet variable
environment.
 Some estuarine plants are able to reduce the amount of erosion near them by changing
the flow of currents. They are able to trap silt particles and sediment at the base of their
roots. This makes their position more stable.
 The plants of the estuary have variations in the root systems. Small plants are prone to
having tiny projections that anchor them to the substrate while larger plants exhibit
elaborate root systems.
 Most residents of the estuary burrow into the muddy substrate. This behavior gives them
access to a high level of nutrients while providing shelter.
 Pelagic species use the estuary as marine nurseries. Many fish lay their eggs in the
estuary because they gain protection from the oceanic predators. Also, the larvae are
able to take advantage of the high nutrients during vital growth stages of their life.

Did you know?

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.

Human neurons are so small that they require a microscope in order to be seen. However, some neurons can be up to 3 feet long, such as those that extend from the spinal cord to the toes.

Bisphosphonates were first developed in the nineteenth century. They were first investigated for use in disorders of bone metabolism in the 1960s. They are now used clinically for the treatment of osteoporosis, Paget's disease, bone metastasis, multiple myeloma, and other conditions that feature bone fragility.
