The frequency of Corralina sp. varies as the distance of growth from the sea increases Corralina sp. Is a whitish-pink calcified seaweed. It has articulated fronds 60-70mm high. It grows on rock surfaces at low tide level and is especially abundant on exposed coasts. I carried out my investigation on an exposed coast in the Isle of Wight. It has a rocky shore and when the tide is out small rock pools are present. It is a 'holiday' coast which many people visit, there are a number of cafes, restaurants and souvenir shops and also a road runs along the top of the shore. Other affecting abiotic factors may be temperature, which when not at optimum may slow down enzyme action and chemical reactions within the plant. Oxygen saturation of the water, the equation for respiration is glucose + oxygen carbon dioxide + water and so if oxygen saturation is...
