Chemistry?!
Is the ocean becoming more basic or acidic?
What is: Acidic
Do fishermen harvest bivalves sustainably?
What is: No
What is the obvious solution to solving ocean acidification?
What is: Reduce carbon emissions
What is a bivalve's shell made of?
What is: Calcium Carbonate
(1/2 points for Calcium)
What resource would the fishing industry be losing due to this acidification?
What is: Bivalves (Lowkey what the whole presentations on)
Lower CO2 in the air means that the ocean will become more or less acidic?
What is: Less
What ion, in being released, makes the ocean more acidic?
What is: H+/Hydrogen ions
Will ocean acidification get worse if stakeholders don't change?
What is: Yes, obviously
Protecting our carbon sinks is a great way to lower CO2 levels. What is a good example of a carbon sink?
What is: Amazon, Mangroves, The ocean itself. (forests, Etc.)
The excess hydrogen binds to carbon ions to form bicarbonate. This uses a crucial ion that bivalves use to __?
What is: build their shells
Big companies release lots of CO2 they would need to stop to help out the bivalves. What technique could they use to stop this? (reviewed before) *hint*
What is: carbon sequestration
What is a good way to protect our forests?
What is: Stop deforestation (Easiest 400 points tbh ngl ain't gonna cap frfr)
Ca+ ATPase enzyme efficiency is reduced. What does this hinder in bivalves?
What is: Shell building
How could fishermen be more sustainable?
What is: limits on harvesting, Hunting season, and Weight/size limits (etc).
What is carbon sequestration?
What is: Pumping CO2 underground for permanent storage
