Q

diatoms function:

A

remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere thru photosynthesis the carbon dioxide is then converted into oxygen gas which is released into the atmosphere.

Q

all golden algae are— and some r —-

A

photosynthetic and some are mixotrophs

17
Q

(straemnopiles). golden algae MOST r—— but some r —-

A

unicellular, colonial

18
Q

(straemonopiles) brown algae are —, all r —-, most r —-

A

the largest and most complex algae, all are multicellular and most are marine

19
Q

brown algae ex:

20
Q

brown algae function:

A

uses chlorophyll to absorb sunlight and convert it into energy in the form of sugars thru photosynthesis and releases oxygen as a byproduct which is essential for the aquatic life

21
Q

kelps

A

giant seaweed and live in deep parts of the ocean

22
Q

brown algal seaweeds have plant like structure:

A

holdfast,stipe,blade

23
Q

holdfast

A

rootlike, which anchors the alga

24
Q

stipe

A

stemlike, which supports the leaf like blades

25
alveolate have membrane enclosed----
sacs(alveoli) just under the plasma membrane
26
alveoli characteristic:
grape like structures found at end of bronchiole tree
27
alveoli function:
to exchange gasses
28
the alveolates include
dinoflagellates, apicomplexans, ciliates
29
dinoflagellates( alveolate) have-----
2 flagella and each cell is reinforced by cellulose plates
30
dinoflagellates are abundant components of both
marine and freshwater
31
dinoflagellates are crucial -----
primary producers generating oxygen thru photosynthesis
32
apicomplexans are
parasites of animals and some cause serious human disease
33
apicomplexans: most have
sexual and asexual stages
34
the apicomplexan plasmodium vivax
is the parasite that causes malaria
35
plasmodium requires both
mosquitoes and humans to complete its life cycle
