21
Q

22

A

25
What is the animal part of plankton called ?
Zooplankton
26
What is the plant part of plankton called ?
Phytoplankton
27
What are the five importance of algae ?
1) producers food ( phytoplankton) 2) releases O2 3) provides habitat- kelp bed 4) indicates fresh water - very polluted ( euglena) - less polluted ( blue- green algae) - barely polluted ( very green algae) 5) harvested as fertilizer
28
What type of algae is found in very polluted water?
Euglena
29
What type of algae is found is barely polluted water ?
Green algae
30
What type of algae is found is less polluted water ?
Blue- green algae
31
Euglena does is contain chlorophyll?
Yes
32
Euglena- autotrophic or Hetrotrophic?
Autotrophic
33
What happens in Euglena is kept in the dark.
It looses its chlorophyll and becomes saprophytic
34
What division is euglena placed in?
Euglenoids
35
Does a euglena have a cell wall , and of not , what replaces it ?
It does not have a cell wall but instead and flexible pellicle just below the cell membrane
36
What is a pellicle ?
A protein coat
37
What is red tide ?
It occurs because of upwelling . Dormant spores of dinoflagellates which sank to bottom of sea last summer are brought to didactic with nutrient -rich water . Spores germinate and reproduce ( favorable conditions)
