Figure 6.11 Figure 6.11 depicts a panel similar to those you will see in lab this week. The panel is hard, so animals do not penetrate it as roots do with soil. This panel was placed in the ocean only a short time ago, so much of it is still bare (the gray area). Q8 What kind of animal is the largest orange crust? Sponge Sea Squirt Bryozoan O Mussel Q9 For what resource might sessile animals compete? Food Space Oxygen All of the above Figure 6-12 Q10 Name two kinds of animals that are visible. Your answer Space is clearly at a premium on the older panel shown in Figure 6-12. Q11 Describe one growth strategy you see here that was not visible on the younger panel: Modular growth Colonial growth Undergrowth Overgrowth Q12 What can you see that indicates competition among organisms? Your answer Q13 Why might it be advantageous to have a modular growth pattern in this situation? Your answer Figure 6.11 Figure 6.11 depicts a panel similar to those you will see in lab this week.
