These single-celled plants provide nourishment to many marine species and they also play an important role in regulating the amount of carbon in the atmosphere. Many types of algae are used as shelter for some bottom-dwelling animals. They also help other plants that grow on different types of plants.]]> 2016-06-08 15:16:38 UTC https://padlet.com/monique6221g/30e41ljzqb93/wish/114099295 monique6221g https://padlet.com/monique6221g/30e41ljzqb93/wish/114099955 Biotic factors include plants, animals, fungi, algae, and bacteria. Abiotic factors include sunlight, temperature, moisture, wind or water currents, soil type, and nutrient availability. Ocean ecosystems are impacted by abiotic factors in ways that may be different from terrestrial ecosystems.]]> 2016-06-08 15:22:01 UTC https://padlet.com/monique6221g/30e41ljzqb93/wish/114099955 monique6221g https://padlet.com/monique6221g/30e41ljzqb93/wish/114103083  Abiotic components or abiotic factors are non-living chemical and physical parts of the environment that affect living organisms and the functioning of ecosystems.]]> 2016-06-08 15:46:13 UTC https://padlet.com/monique6221g/30e41ljzqb93/wish/114103083 monique6221g https://padlet.com/monique6221g/30e41ljzqb93/wish/114103248 Biotic factors are the living components of an ecosystem. They are sorted into three groups: producers or autotrops, consumers or heterotrops, and decomposers or detritivores.]]> 2016-06-08 15:47:47 UTC https://padlet.com/monique6221g/30e41ljzqb93/wish/114103248 monique6221g https://padlet.com/monique6221g/30e41ljzqb93/wish/114103718 Primary consumers in the marine biome include creatures like small fish, certain crustacean larvae, and filter feeders. Filter feeders include creatures like baleen whales, whale sharks, and certain crustaceans. Baleen whales suck water into their enormous mouths, then they use their enormous tongues to force the water out through the baleen, but tiny organisms like krill and plankton get stuck in the baleen for the whale to eat.]]> 2016-06-08 15:51:55 UTC https://padlet.com/monique6221g/30e41ljzqb93/wish/114103718 monique6221g https://padlet.com/monique6221g/30e41ljzqb93/wish/114103896 In the marine biome, secondary consumers include creatures like sharks, carnivorous fish, and some sea turtles. The ocean around the island of Yonaguni has a high population of hammerhead sharks. Sharks can detect one part blood in a million parts water, and they keep growing new teeth whenever a tooth is lost, but they must keep moving to breathe.]]> 2016-06-08 15:53:20 UTC https://padlet.com/monique6221g/30e41ljzqb93/wish/114103896 monique6221g https://padlet.com/monique6221g/30e41ljzqb93/wish/114104388 2016-06-08 15:57:29 UTC https://padlet.com/monique6221g/30e41ljzqb93/wish/114104388 monique6221g https://padlet.com/monique6221g/30e41ljzqb93/wish/114104536 2016-06-08 15:58:28 UTC https://padlet.com/monique6221g/30e41ljzqb93/wish/114104536
