AP BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Aquatic biomes are influenced by sunlight, availability of nutrients, salt level, and concentration of dissolved oxygen. Other abiotic factors that influence the biome are suspended particles and minerals because of runoff and water flow.

Detailed explanation-2: -Aquatic biomes can be generally classified based on the amount of salt in the water. Freshwater biomes have less than 1% salt and are typical of ponds and lakes, streams and rivers, and wetlands. Marine biomes have more salt and are characteristic of the oceans, coral reefs, and estuaries.

Detailed explanation-3: -Abiotic factors that influence aquatic biomes include light availability, depth, stratification, temperature, currents, and tides.

Detailed explanation-4: -Aquatic biomes are determined mainly by sunlight and concentrations of dissolved oxygen and nutrients in the water. Marine biomes are found in the salt wate r of the ocean.

Detailed explanation-5: -An abiotic factor is a non-living part of an ecosystem that shapes its environment. In a terrestrial ecosystem, examples might include temperature, light, and water. In a marine ecosystem, abiotic factors would include salinity and ocean currents.
