Imagine if mermaids are real. What are their biological and Physical demands (LOCOMOTION, BREATHING, and THERMOREGULATION)?
Due to human activities more carbon dioxide (CO2) is dissolving into the air, the ocean takes up
more CO2 and becomes increasingly acidic. Increased ocean acidity makes it more difficult for
marine animals to produce their calcium-rich hard parts. Explain three types of invertebrates that are
likely to be adversely affected by an increase in ocean acidity.
In sharks hormones regulate which of the following functions?

Growth
Stress responses
Lactation
The lymphatic system

- As human activities put more and more carbon dioxide (CO2) into the air, the ocean takes up more CO2 and becomes increasingly acidic. Increased ocean acidity makes it more difficult for marine animals to produce their calcium-rich hard parts.

Excretory functions would be impacted Reproductive function would be impaired. Osmoregulatory and excretory function would be impaired. Nerve function would be impaired.
