1. Processing Information
You should aim to select and process information on:
· the conditions of the deep ocean zone(s) such as amount of light, oxygen, availability of food and water pressure and how these would affect the marine organism
· how the biological adaptations work together to allow the marine organism to survive the conditions of the extreme environment
· reasons as to why biological adaptations allow the marine organism to survive the conditions of the extreme environment
· anything else that would be relevant to the marine organism’s survival, such as how the adaptations allow the marine organism to coexist with other ma
rine organisms in the same deep ocean zone(s).
2. Writing your report
Using your processed information prepare your report/presentation. In this you should:
· describe the conditions of the deep ocean zone(s) that require special adaptations for survival of the marine organism
· describe the adaptations required for the marine organism to survive in the deep ocean zone(s)
· explain how these adaptations work together to allow the marine organism to survive in this extreme environment
· justify, by explaining in detail and analysing, how the adaptations enable the organism to survive in the deep ocean zone(s)
· explain and justify anything else that would be relevant to the organism’s survival such as how the adaptations allow the marine organism to coexist with other marine organisms in the same ocean zone(s)
· acknowledge all sources of information, including images, diagrams (not generated by you), and data. Refer to resource C for more information on how to do this.
