Principle 5 3-5 June 27 2007, II - A great diversity of habitats, stemming from environmental factors associated with living in a liquid environment, provides the opportunity for a great diversity of adaptations such as: body structures, behaviors, and life histories. D - There are large ecologically important habitats that exist in the deep sea that are not dependent on photosynthesis., The ocean supports a diversity of life and ecosystems III - Most of the Earth's living space is found in the ocean., A -The ocean supports a tremendous variety of sizes of organisms from extremely small to the largest animal ever to live on Earth. 1 - Most of the organisms in the ocean are tiny; most of the biomass in the ocean is made up of tiny organisms., F - The ocean can support a variety of organisms throughout the entire water column. 7 - Environmental factors such as salinity, pressure, substrate and temperature vary through the ocean providing a variety of ocean habitats and promoting diversity., 7 - Environmental factors such as salinity, pressure, substrate and temperature vary through the ocean providing a variety of ocean habitats and promoting diversity. II - A great diversity of habitats, stemming from environmental factors associated with living in a liquid environment, provides the opportunity for a great diversity of adaptations such as: body structures, behaviors, and life histories., E - Organisms in the ocean exhibit an amazing variety of life cycles. Some organisms are metamorphic, many have planktonic phases, some change sex. 6 - Some of these life cycles are unique to the ocean such as those of seahorses, corals, and kelp., I - The diversity of major groups of organisms is much greater in the ocean than on land. see Principle 4, D - There are large ecologically important habitats that exist in the deep sea that are not dependent on photosynthesis. 5 - Some organisms can produce energy from the chemicals released in deep sea vents much the way that green plants and algae produce energy from sunlight., I - The diversity of major groups of organisms is much greater in the ocean than on land. B - There are some groups of organisms that occur in the ocean that do not occur on land (e.g., starfish)., G - Most primary productivity on Earth occurs in the ocean. 5 - Some organisms can produce energy from the chemicals released in deep sea vents much the way that green plants and algae produce energy from sunlight.
