6.2 Microbes, Plankton, Algae, Plants

Question 1

marine viruses

Answer 1

nonliving, yet most abundant non-living thing in ocean. Still contains DNA or RNA, a capsid protein coat, glycoproteins, envelope, ~20-200nm

Question 2

lytic cycle

Answer 2

the phage replicates and lyses the host cell

Question 3

lysogenic cycle

Answer 3

phage DNA is incorporated into the host genome, where it is passed on to subsequent generations

Question 4

when virus attacks cells and injects DNA/RNA unto core,

Answer 4

virus confuses all to replicate it, cells “lyse”, releasing dissolved organic material into water

Question 5

primary ecological functions of viruses in ocean

Answer 5

-most abundant non-living thing in ocean
-cause DOM’s to be up for eating
-can cause disease such as hepatitis in marine organisms

Question 6

marine bacteria

Answer 6

most abundant living thing in ocean, single-celled prokaryote, heterotrophic/autotrophic, aerobic or anaerobic, 1um(millionth of a meter)

Question 7

marine bacteria ___ DOM

Answer 7

recycles back into food web

Question 8

marine plankton

Answer 8

adrift organisms in ocean

Question 9

phytoplankton

Answer 9

unicellular plant-like Algae, - diatoms and dinoflagellates

Question 10

zooplankton

Answer 10

multicellular animals, like copepods

Question 11

meroplankton

Answer 11

zooplankton born as plankton maturing into fish, lobsters, crabs later in life

Question 12

holoplankton

Answer 12

spend whole lives as plankton like jellyfish copepod

Question 13

marine phytoplankton

Answer 13

visibility can be affected by them, who are photosynthetic, and include diatoms and dinoflagellates

Question 14

HAB(Harmful Algae bloom)

Answer 14

cause PSP(paralytic shellfish poisoning), domoic acid is caused by diatoms and saxitoxin is caused by dinoflagellates.
