Principle_5_6-8, Carbon moves between the living and the non living world this is the carbon cycle Carbon compounds are the building blocks of life, Energy enters the ocean systems through sunlit or chemical processes and flows through complex food webs. Chemosynthesis is another process of primary production in the ocean. Common sources are deep sea vents and cold water seeps. In many ways this process is similar to photosynthesis but the energy source is different. The first organisms on earth were probably chemosythetic., A broad diversity of life evolved in the ocean and the broadest diversity of life still exists there. 5a Highest diversity of animal phyla is found in the ocean (body plans), Ocean Biology provides many unique examples of life cycles, adaptations & important relationships among organisms that do not occur on land. 5d. Life strategies in the ocean are different than on land due to the differences in light pressure, density and chemical makeup (salinity) of this fluid environment. 5f, The ocean plays a major role in the important geochemical cycles essential for life Carbon moves between the living and the non living world this is the carbon cycle, Energy enters the ocean systems through sunlit or chemical processes and flows through complex food webs. Photosynthesis is the process by which primary producers such as phytoplankton and algae turn sunlight, water and carbon dioxide into organic molecules., A broad diversity of life evolved in the ocean and the broadest diversity of life still exists there. 5a All kingdoms are represented in the ocean except for fungi., #5 The ocean supports a great diversity of life and ecosystems Grades 6-8 The ocean plays a major role in the important geochemical cycles essential for life, Ocean Biology provides many unique examples of life cycles, adaptations & important relationships among organisms that do not occur on land. 5d. Energy enters the ocean systems through sunlit or chemical processes and flows through complex food webs., #5 The ocean supports a great diversity of life and ecosystems Grades 6-8 A broad diversity of life evolved in the ocean and the broadest diversity of life still exists there. 5a
