Answer 1

This question asks to match terms with their definitions related to biology, specifically about models, anaerobic organisms, photosynthesis, halophiles, biological evolution, genetic drift, natural selection, and water chemistry.

Step-by-step explanation:

Model - A visual guide for abstract concepts.

Anaerobic Organism - An organism that can perform respiration without oxygen.

Photosynthesis - Pathway in which Light energy is converted to Chemical Energy.

Halophiles - An extremophile that can thrive in Utah’s Salt Lake, which has a large amount of salt.

Biological Evolution - Defined as a change in the genetic makeup of a species overtime.

Genetic Drift - Selection of traits by random chance.

Natural Selection - The only mechanism in which the environment selects for better adapted individuals.

Water Chemistry - This affects the carrying capacity of the ocean.
