Marine Science Video Series (*In-Class Only* Assignments)
The Marine Science Video Series is a series of videos shared in class to help students tie together concepts taught during each model's lessons. These assignments are only available for students to complete in class for an extra grade. If they are not completed in class, during class time the assignment is excused.
Planet Earth: Caves
1.What are two adaptations that glow worms have to help them in catching prey? Describe their purpose.
2.What is limestone made of? How is it possible that limestone can be found in areas of dry land?
3.Deer Cave cannot support photosynthesis, as not enough sunlight is present. In spite of this, it still has a complex food chain. What is the energy foundation of this food chain?
4.What behavioral adaptation do the wrinkle-lipped bats possess that helps them evade the rufous-bellied eagles, peregrine falcons, and bat hawks?
5.What physical adaptation do cave swiftlets have to navigate through the dark caves to their nests? How do they build nests without any materials in the cave to use?
6.What unique adaptations have cave angel fish evolved specifically for the cave environment?
7.What vestigial structures have been lost by the troglobites?
