Individual quiz (20 multiple choice questions, 40 points) 2. Group quiz (10 scratcher questions, 20 points) 3. Group figure analysis & summary question (20 points) Information, resources, and student learning objectives also on Moodle. Extra office hours for next week—use appointments link on Moodle or e-mail me to set up other times. Day 35: Climate change & corals 1. Coral holobiont 2. Climate change 3. Figure analysis Day 35: Climate change & corals Resources. 1 – 10 Learning Objectives. For the Pre-Case Study Quiz associated with the Coral Bleaching Final Case Study, you should be able to: 1. Compare and contrast how energy and nutrients move through ecosystems. a. Explain how human activities are changing the carbon cycle, and describe biological responses to those changes. 2. Describe how organisms carry out nitrogen fixation, including the energy demands involved. 3. Compare and contrast heterotrophy and autotrophy. 4. Explain how photosynthesis captures light energy and transforms it into sugar. a. Name the carbon and energy inputs and outputs for the light-capturing reactions and the Calvin Cycle. b. Identify the electron donor and final electron acceptor for the light- capturing reactions, and explain how they are related to the overall equation for photosynthesis. c. Explain the process of photophosphorylation. 5. Explain how cellular respiration converts energy in molecules such as sugar or fats into ATP. a. Name the four steps of cellular respiration. b. Name the carbon and energy inputs/outputs for oxidative phosphorylation, and identify the energy-rich molecule(s) that is/are the inputs and outputs. c. Identify the electron donor(s) and final electron acceptor for oxidative phosphorylation, and explain how they are related to the overall equation for cellular respiration. 6. Describe the anatomy and key characteristics of corals. a. Name the phylum for corals. b. Draw a coral polyp (and its associated skeleton). Label and describe the function (e.g., feeding, skeleton formation, etc.) of the tentacles, mouth, gastrovascular cavity, endoderm, zooxanthellae, coenosarc, calyx, theca, and basal plate. c. Describe how corals feed, including the role of cnidocytes and nematocysts, tentacles, and gastrovascular cavity. d. Explain how stony corals build skeletons, and how environmental factors influence the rate of skeleton growth. 7. Describe the organisms involved in the in the coral holobiont, and their functions. a. Explain the role of zooxanthellae in corals, and how they are related to coral bleaching. b. Explain the role of cyanobacteria in corals, and why they are important. c. Name other organisms that participate in the coral holobiont, where they occur, and how they may affect coral growth and survival. 8. Describe risks coral reefs face. a. Explain what happens during coral bleaching, and the factors that are associated with it. b. Explain how changes in the carbon cycle cause ocean acidification and ocean warming, and why these changes affect corals. c. Explain how stressors such as heat or acidification affect energy balance in corals. G Tott % E Levels of Biological Organization * [ harpoon- 1.
