How is ocean acidification related to carbon dioxide in the
atmosphere? -
ANSWER-• CO2 in air is absorbed by
the oceans
• ~25% of CO2 from
atmosphere
• Reactions of CO2 with water increases the acidity
of seawater
What types of organisms are most threatened by ocean
acidification? Why? -
ANSWER-ocean acidification reduces fertilization, survival
and recruitment of
coral
larvae
• Decreased concentration of carbonate
ions (CO3 2- )
•Carbonate ions needed to produce skeletons,
protective shells
,What is the purpose of ozone in the atmosphere? - ANSWER-
Ozone is a gas in
the atmosphere that protects everything living on the
Earth from harmful
ultraviolet (UV) rays from the Sun. Without the layer of

What is it?
-Why does it occur? - ANSWER-reaction to breakdown lactose
catalyzed by enzyme lactase
Lactose Intolerance= common in people of African, Native
Americans, and Asian descent. People in warmer climates were
plant dependent and didnt need the gene, unlike most
europeans
