intertidal zones chapter test

deposit feeding is common in

intertidal areas

tidepools exposes organisms to all except

dessication

mussels attach to substrates with

byssal threads

particle sand size effects

all of the above

factors that restrict the growth of a population are

limiting factors

an example of a filter feeder is

mussels

an attached animal is called

sessile epifauna

intertidal organisms are subject to all factors except

low light levels

the upper area of a rocky intertidal is affected by

physical factors

which habitat has the highest species diversity

rocky intertidal

lichens compound associations with

fungi and algae

most organisms living in intertidal areas are

epifaunal

the upper sandy beach ends where

sand dunes begin

shells that are best exposed during low tide are

white and ridged

mussels are kept in check by the predation of

sea stars

brain size is determined by the

amount of wave activity

the zone only exposed during spring tide

subtidal

sea urchins in rocky intertidal are

all of the above

what limits organism distribution

dessication

what type of feeding is not common in a rocky intertidal environment

deposit feeding

supralittoral zone is

above high tide
