Scientific Skills Questions


Scientists predict that acidification of the ocean will lower the concentration of dissolved carbonate ions (CO3

2), which are required for coral reef calcification. To test this hypothesis, what would be the independent variable?

a) ocean pH

b) the rate of calcification

c) the amount of atmospheric CO2

d) time

e) volume of seawater


Scientists predict that acidification of the ocean will lower the concentration of dissolved carbonate ions (CO3

2), which are required for coral reef calcification. To test this hypothesis, what would be the independent variable?

a) ocean pHb) the rate of calcification

c) the amount of atmospheric CO2

d) time

e) volume of seawater


Based on this graph, what is the relationship between carbonate ion concentration and calcification rate?

a) As the acidity of the seawater increased, the rate of calcification decreased.

b) As the rate of calcification increased, the concentration of carbonate ions increased.

c) As the concentration of carbonate ions increased, the rate of calcification decreased.

d) As the concentration of carbonate ions increased, the rate of calcification increased.


If the seawater carbonate ion concentration is 250 µmol/kg, what is the approximate rate of calcification according to this graph?

a) 5 mmol CaCO3 per m2 per day

b) 10 mmol CaCO3 per m2 per day

c) 15 mmol CaCO3 per m2 per day

d) 20 mmol CaCO3 per m2 per day


This figure suggests that increased atmospheric concentrations of CO2 will slow the growth of coral reefs. Do the results of the previous experiment support that hypothesis?

a) No; more atmospheric CO2 causes a decrease in the amount of CO3

2 in seawater, leading to faster reef growth.

b) Yes; more CO2 causes an increase in the amount of CO3

2 in seawater, leading to slower reef growth.

c) No; more atmospheric CO2 causes an increase in the amount of CO3

2 in seawater, leading to faster reef growth.

d) Yes; more CO2 causes a decrease in the amount of CO3

2 in seawater, leading to slower reef growth.
