1. It is the same thing
2. limited temperature tolerances, high oxygen needs, strong
swimming ability and specialized reproductive strategies to prevent eggs or larvae being swept

1. The fact that the scarcest nutrient in an ecosystem controls the population growth
2. Phosphorus
3. The ratio of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus in phytoplankton (106:16:1)
4. Dobsonfly (specifically the larvae, also known as a hellgrammite). The larvae are predators and eat invertebrates, the adult does not feed.
