Did you read the book?  Know what Abiotic means?  \n\nAbiotic: The abiotic factors include all the physical, chemical and geological variables that have a bearing on the type of life that can exist in an area. Included are \n\nwater \nlight \ntemperature \npH \nsalinity \nsubstratum \nnutrient supply \ndissolved gases \npressure \ntides \ncurrents \nwaves \nexposure to air.

The state of Florida webiste has a section on marine biology programs and research going on in the state:\nhttp://www.stateofflorida.com/Portal/DesktopDefault.aspx?tabid=77\n\nYou may want to check out the various programs and make a decision based on which of them most appeals to you.\n\nHope this helps!

ABIOTIC:\n1. Gravel\n2. Some figures [decorative]\n3. A food pouch\n4. Air supply hose and its outlet\n\nBIOTIC:\n1. Fish\n2. A few aquatic plants [oxygen, purity, etc]\n3. A few mussels, maybe.

, you can´t make seawater with regular salt because of the contents but if you want to make a equivilant it would be 2/4 cups of salt and 2 cups of water\n \nHere are some other facts for your sister to use in her writen report of the project.\nSeawater has one of the most stable constitutions, varying only in a few places in its 77% coverage of the earth's surface. This factor makes keeping marines more difficult than freshwater species as the fish involved have little tolerance to changing conditions - they never encounter any - but, advantageously it means that all marine fish will be at home in one common type of water. \n\nExcept for those few aquarists who have access to natural tropical seawater, the majority of marine fishkeepers have to rely on preparing their own synthetic variety using commercially-available salt mixes.\n\n \nTo make sure the water is mixed to the correct conditions, test the 'strength' of the mix by measuring the Specific Gravity (S.G) of a sample. \nIn Nature, this approximates to 35 ppt (parts per thousand) or, in practical terms 35 grams of salt per litre of water, approximately S.G of 1.025; in this example, the S.G of the sample reads 1.024 which is satisfactory for a reef tank but could be lower (1.021-1.023) for a 'fish only' collection.\nIt is important to measure the S.G. when the water is at the correct temperature (75oF) and thankfully most hydrometers offered at the aquatic outlets are calibrated at this value. \n\n\n\n\nSynthetic seawater should be mixed in clean plastic containers and aerated for at least 24 hours before use.\n\nOne of the curses of the marine aquarium (not helped either by the intense lighting found on most systems) is unwanted algae; this is further encouraged by phosphates and nitrates found in the water used to make the seawater. \nAlways use a salt-mix that is labelled 'phosphate and nitrate free' and also make sure that water used is also free of these substances too.\n\nSource water can range from absolutely free of anything tapwater (via Reverse Osmosis treatment), nitrate removed by a Nitragon unit or phosphate removed by using RowaPhos(tm) in a filter.\nAdditionally, clean rainwater can be used.\n\nNitrate levels can be kept to a minimum im the aquarium by the action of use anaerobic de-nitrifying bacterial colonies within Living Rock, and by regular partial water changes. The build up of nitrate can also be minimised by using a protein skimmer to remove organic substances from the water before the nitrite-forming and nitrate-converting bacteria can get their hands on them. \n\nKeep a check on pH and nitrate levels: rising nitrate levels and a falling pH means it's time for a water change. Whilst nitrate levels in a fish-only collection can be allowed to rise, invertebrates appreciate really low levels (zero, preferably

Pure =32 degrees F\nSalt = depends on the salt concentration, ocean water is -40 degrees F

Excellent choice! The first thing you need to do is locate universities that offer this course. Choose a warm climate school that employs some of the best researchers in the world and funds field research continuously. Plan on Eight years of university to earn your doctorate degree in marine biology. You will be exposed to some very interesting work and research, not to mention the adventure! You will need to become a certified diver, have sound knowledge of the plant and animal life in the ocean's of the world. once in school attach yourself to the team that has lots of field research, do the work asked of you and you will have some of the most brilliant and life changing experiences you could ever imagine.

She will need a strong science background so I'd encourage to her to learn more about biology and other life sciences. She can take classes in school and read about marine biology. There are hundreds of great books on the topic. There are also summer camps for kids interested in marine biology. Some of them will teach the kids to scuba dive and snorkel and give them hands on experience with sea life. The Dolphin Research Center in Florida has a dolphin camp for kids. I added the link at the bottom. Once she is ready for college, there are several universities with excellent marine biology programs. They will look for applicants with strong science and math grades as well as good test scores. Hope that helps.

I'd suggest you look in the front of your textbook.  It will be along the lines of "The principles of biology are. . . ."  Usually when they ask open ended questions like these they don't want a thoughtful and insightful answer like the ones given above but rather, for you to parrot the aforementioned sentence back to them.

The first three are correct.  I am having difficult finding an organism that is not somehow connected to an energy source.
