2. What does the term 'species ID' refer to in marine biology?

   1. Identifying what type of organism is in a photo or observation
   2. Counting the number of eggs a fish lays
   3. Recording the depth where an animal lives
   4. Measuring the length of a fish

3. What is bioacoustics?

   1. The measurement of ocean wave heights
   2. The analysis of water chemistry
   3. The mapping of coral reef locations
   4. The study of sounds made by living organisms

4. How does the Wildbook system identify individual whales?

   1. By attaching GPS trackers to whales
   2. By matching the unique pattern of each whale's tail
   3. By counting whale teeth
   4. By measuring whale weight

5. What is a population survey in marine biology?

   1. A study to count how many of a certain species live in an area
   2. A survey of boat traffic in fishing areas
   3. A measurement of water temperature changes
   4. A记录 of ocean currents

6. What does biodiversity refer to in ocean ecosystems?

   1. The temperature range of ocean water
   2. The total weight of fish in the ocean
   3. The depth of the deepest ocean trenches
   4. The variety of different living species in an area

7. Which task would AI be most useful for in marine biology?

   1. Tasting ocean water to check salt levels
   2. Swimming alongside dolphins to observe behavior
   3. Feeling coral to determine its health
   4. Analyzing thousands of underwater photos to identify species

8. What is the main advantage AI provides over traditional diver surveys?

   1. AI can interact directly with marine animals
   2. AI does not get tired or cold
   3. AI can cover much larger areas and process data faster
   4. AI can breathe underwater without air tanks

9. If a marine biologist has a photo of an unknown fish, how might AI help?

   1. By predicting what the fish will eat
   2. By telling the fish's age
   3. By identifying what species the fish is from the image
   4. By finding the exact location where the photo was taken

10. Why is AI useful for tracking whale songs across entire oceans?

    1. Because AI can swim underwater
    2. Because AI can analyze huge amounts of audio data continuously
    3. Because AI lives in the ocean
    4. Because AI can physically follow whales
