REVIEW VOCABULARY

Part 1: Read aloud

Read those sentences aloud.

Paragraph 1

The marine environment harbors unique species, some of which are displayed in an aquarium. Observing these creatures in captivity highlights their weird behaviors, often different from the wild. A recent attempt to study their core biological processes revealed the importance of oxygen levels for survival, showing how delicate each element of their ecosystem truly is.

Paragraph 2

A newborn infant marine mammal, with a fragile spine and soft jaw, was discovered near the reef. Its skull displayed peculiar growth patterns, hinting at an inadequate food supply. Researchers found microscopic microbes thriving on its skin, which indicated symbiotic relationships with the surrounding organisms in their unique aspect of marine life.

Paragraph 3

In captivity, certain species face environmental constraints that hinder their growth. For example, low oxygen levels in tanks create stressful conditions, limiting natural behaviors. However, adding natural habitat elements such as plants can significantly improve their well-being. These solutions often attempt to replicate the core ecological processes of their native ecosystems.

Paragraph 4

The weird anatomy of deep-sea marine animals fascinates biologists. One fish's skull structure adapts to crushing pressure, while its flexible spine supports swift movement. When held in aquariums, their survival often depends on maintaining stable oxygen levels. Understanding these organisms highlights the delicate balance necessary for preserving diverse species in rapidly changing habitats.
