Develop two biologically relevant and researchable questions comparing the plank tonic habitat
to the benthic habitat (or to the flocculent material habitat in deep water) at Lake Herrick (you
will be sampling from a pier or a bridge). Each question should address at least one of the
following bulleted points. both biotic and abiotic components of both benthic and planktonic
habitats. organism abundance. bacteria and/or fungi. be answerable using equipment available
at the lake (Section Two, Lab equipment available in Section Two, Lab 2 (look ahead to these
labs for equipment choices). have an answer that can be obtained from data and samples
collected at the lake and analyzed in more detail in Section Two, Lab 2.
Solution
1. Comparision of bacterial and fungal population present at the planktonic and benthic habitat of
the Lake Herrick in different seasons and thwir ohylogenetic analysis.
2. Analysis of BOD from the samples collected from benthic and Planktonic habitat of Lake
Herrick and effect on the environment according to their presence in the different habitat..
