**Final Jeopardy**

## This reaction.

**Phytoplankton Jeopardy**

- Phytoplankton 100

***What is...Photosynthesis***

## The zone in which      most phytoplankton     are found.

**Phytoplankton Jeopardy**

- Phytoplankton 200

***What is...Photic Zone***

## The result of algae reproducing at a fast rate over a small     period of time.

**Phytoplankton Jeopardy**

- Phytoplankton 300

***What is...a Bloom***

## Not all phytoplankton are autotrophic.  Some obtain energy by consuming other organisms.

**Phytoplankton Jeopardy**

- Phytoplankton 400

***What is...Heterotrophic***

## In terms of classification,
diatoms belong to this class.

- diatoms belong to this class.

**Phytoplankton Jeopardy**

- Phytoplankton 500

***What is...Bacillariophyceae***

## Phytoplankton Jeopardy

**Phytoplankton Jeopardy**

- HAB’s & HAB-nots 100

***What is...Hypoxic***

## Increase in toxin concentration at higher levels of the food web.

**Phytoplankton Jeopardy**

- HAB’s & HAB-nots 200

***What is...Biomagnification***

## Shellfish poisoning caused by a toxin produced by                Pseudo-nitzschia.

**Phytoplankton Jeopardy**

- HAB’s & HAB-nots 300

***What is...ASP                            Amnesic Shellfish Poisoning***

## Human Health Syndrome resulting from                 eating toxic reef fish.

**Phytoplankton Jeopardy**

- HAB’s & HAB-nots 400

***What is...CFP                          Ciguatera Fish Poisoning***
