Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Desiccation is the drying out of an organism. Motile animals can move towards water, but sessile
organisms must await the return of water. They trap water within their shells to keep their gills moist.
Some have a protective mucous which prevents water loss. Information can be found in the section
Examples of Marine Communities.



Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The Arctic does not have a deep scattering layer. Perhaps this is due to the abundance of nutrients in
the deep water and the waters above. Information can be found in the section Examples of Marine
Communities.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
