Aquatic biomes cover approximately three-quarters of Earth's surface. Examples of aquatic biomes include lakes, streams and rivers, wetlands, estuaries, and oceans. Different types of aquatic biomes are distinguished by their physical and chemical characteristics, their depth, and, for some biomes, their distance from shore. Many temperate lakes undergo semiannual turnover, a process that mixes the surface and bottom waters, resulting in the redistribution of oxygen and nutrients.
Aquatic biomes can be distinguished by chemical characteristics such as dissolved oxygen content and salinity and by physical characteristics such as water flow.
Which five of the following statements about aquatic biomes are true?

a. The lowest levels of dissolved oxygen in a stream are generally found in its turbulent headwaters.
b. Wetlands have slow water movement or no water movement and no turnover.
c. Tropical coral reefs generally exist in relatively shallow areas of the ocean.
d. Estuaries are very productive and are used as breeding grounds by many species of fish.
e. A freshwater organism permanently attached to the substrate would be unlikely to survive and reproduce in an estuary.
f. Temperature drives water movement in some lakes.
g. All wetlands have soils that dry out periodically.

Which statements best describe the differences or similarities between a comparative investigation and an experimental investigation? check all that apply. experimental investigations are best for showing cause-and-effect relationships, while comparative investigations do not necessarily show this type of relationship. comparative investigations are often impractical and unrealistic, while experimental investigations are the most practical and realistic kinds of investigations. comparative investigations allow for the use of a wide range of variables but do not have a control group, while experimental investigations involve variables that can be controlled. both experimental investigations and comparative investigations are designed to answer scientific questions. both experimental investigations and comparative investigations focus on making observations rather than collecting new data.
