Q. Why is a food web a better description than food chain for how organisms interact with each other for food? Q. What’s the difference between a food web and an ecosystem? Q. Why would scientists want to tag an animal? Q. How do humans affect life in the sea? Q. Why are estuaries important? Q. Which adaptations do you think are most important for sea star growth and reproduction? [|Animation: How sound travels]
