Stream 1. A _______________ is a body of running water that occupies a channel.

River 2. A _______________ is a large body of interconnected streams.
Precipitate 3. Both stream and river may be shallow or deep, depending on the amount of
_______________ it receives.
channel 4. A _______________ is the deep part of the stream where the water collected flows
downstream.
pool 5. The area of a stream where the water is deep but flows slowly is called a
_______________.
riffle 6. The shallow stream areas characterized by a fast flow agitated by rocks are called
_______________.
run 7. The area of fast-moving water between riffle and pool is called a _______________.
rapids 8. _______________ may form where the water flows downhill in a sharp curve, producing
strong water current. This is where you see the very turbulent water flow.
Stream banks 9. _______________ are sides of the stream channel where plants could grow.
Cagayan River 10. The lasi and ludong or lobed river mullet are only found in _______________.
wetlands 11. _______________ are transitional zones between land and aquatic ecosystem . It is
a link between land and water.
marine ecosystem 12. A _______________ is a diverse aquatic ecosystem that houses a
multitude of living organisms in ocean and sea environment. It includes shorelines, coral
reefs, and the open ocean.
intertidal zone 13. _______________ is where the ocean meets the land.
Neritic zone 14. _______________ is a shallow marine environment extending from the coast to
200 meters deep.
Bathyal zone 15. Zone located beyond #14 is called _______________. It extends from the
surface water to the base of the continental shelf. Its depth ranges from 200 to 2,000 meters.
Abyssal zone 16. _______________, which lies below 2,000 meters, is the layer next to #15.
Sunlight cannot reach this zone, thus, no photosynthetic organisms thrive here.
Estuary 17. An _______________ is formed when freshwater from rivers or streams meets and
mixes with a`saltwater from the ocean and seas.
Detritivores 18. _______________, such as earthworms, feed on dead and decomposing matter.
ecological niche19. _______________ is the role played by an organism in an ecosystem.
Producer 20. A _______________ (also called an autotroph) makes Its own food through
photosynthesis. They are the bases of energy in ecosystem.
Consumer 21. _______________ (also known as heterotroph) depend on other organisms or food.
Omnivore 22. _______________ feed on plants and animals
herbivore 23. _______________ feed on plants; 2nd trophic level
carnivore 24. _______________ feed on animal meat; 3rd trophic level
feeding relationship 25. _______________ They show how energy flows from an organism to
another organism. These include food chain, food pyramid, and food web .
Food chain 26. _______________ is the process of eating and being eaten.
Trophic level 27. _______________ refers to the level of nourishment of organisms
sun 28. _______________ main source of energy in the ecosystem
food web 29. A _______________ is an overlapping food chains
T or F.
T 1. Most of the water collected in streams and rivers come from surface runoff and rainwater.
F 2. A stream is divided into areas based on length and width.
F 3. Snails, mollusks, and worms thrive in riffles.
F 4. Only animals that can cling can survive pools like stoneflies, caddied flies, algae, and
diatoms.
T 5. Runs could have little turbulence. Fish, like minnows, end up living here.
Bonus 6. The shallow stream areas characterized by a fast flow agitated by rocks are called .
Bonus 7. The area of fast-moving water between riffle and pool is called a .
T 8. The width of the middle part of a stream or river increases due to the force water exerts.
T 9. Plants found on stream banks prevent soil erosion.
T 10. Wetlands are some of the most productive ecosystems in the world. It is a land or an
area that is often covered with shallow water. Examples of wetlands are swamps and
marshes.
F 11. Woody plants dominate marshes while swamps are dominated by grasses and emergent
plants.
F 12. Compared to marine ecosystem, a freshwater ecosystem has more saltcontent.
F 13. During low tide, intertidal zone is submerged; during high tide, it is exposed .
