Think about biological activity in sediments.
Question 2.
List two organisms that are examples of bioturbators.
Show hintHide hint
Consider creatures that live in sediment.
3Question 3.
What does bioturbation refer to?
- Transport of sediments by waves

Show hintHide hint
Consider the relationship between chemicals and water health.
Question 5.
Analyze a scenario where a significant die-off of bioturbating organisms occurs in a freshwater lake. What implications might this have for sediment health and chemical transport?
Show hintHide hint
Think about the role of bioturbators in influencing sediment characteristics.
Question 6.
Design an aquatic monitoring program that includes assessments of bioturbation effects. What factors would you include in your program, and why?
Show hintHide hint
Consider the direct and indirect influences of biological activity on aquatic systems.
