Random
group that is somewhat sensitive
Group 2
damselfly and dragonfly order
Odonata
unequal sharing of these leads to polarity
electrons
I run from 0 to 14 but can go higher or lower...
the pH scale
I decrease abundance and diversity of speci, change reproduction, juvenile growth, and behavior, and cause spinal abnormalities, gill damage, and death. And all of us are toxic at high levels.
metals
I belong to group 1, sometimes I am net building, sometimes not, I look like sticks, and I belong to the order Trichoptera.
caddisfly
I have scales that move on my abdomen and 3 long hair like tails
mayfly; Ephemeroptera
I hold a water molecule together
covalent bonds
I neutralize acids and bases
buffers
an important indicator of the overall biological health of a waterbody and is required for a waterbody to support aquatic life.
dissolved oxygen content
The order name of that in the larvae form is contained in group 3, but the adult form is in Group 1
Coleoptera
I am a sowbug and am related to a roly poly
Isopoda
I hold water molecules together
hydrogen bonds
the measure of the concentration of hydrogen/hydronium ions in a solution
What pH measures
I am the measure of total suspended solids, can clog fish gills, hinder visibility, and decrease light penetration among other things
turbidity
I undergo metamorphosis that has 4 stages from egg to adult
complete metamorphosis
The only subclass, group 3, and I kinda suck
leech, Hirudinea
I help water be cohesive, adhesive, and have surface tension
hydrogen bonds and/or polarity
I am pure water and my number on the pH scale is _____
7
I influence the majority of physical, biological, chemical, and ecosystem processes in aquatic environments and am a significant cause of water quality impairment in the U.S
temperature
insects, mites, scuds, and crayfish
arthropods
I spiral and open to the left
Gastropoda- lunged snail
I allow water to form weak associations with other polar molecules or charged ions (think positive and negative)
polarity (due to unequal sharing of electrons) and/or hydrogen bonds
The lower I go on the pH scale, the more ______ I have
hydrogen ions
I am an important indicator of chemical, physical, and biological changes in a waterbody and plays a critical role in chemical processes in natural waters
