Aquatic Science Quiz: Understanding Aquatic Ecosystems and Environmental Factors

This quiz is designed to assess your knowledge of aquatic science, focusing on various freshwater environments, ecological relationships, and the impact of human activities on these ecosystems. It includes questions on the characteristics of lentic and lotic systems, population dynamics, predator-prey relationships, and environmental issues like the greenhouse effect and ozone depletion. Test your understanding of critical factors influencing aquatic life and the flow of energy in ecosystems.
