Answer 7

Grass-green in color, freshwater

Question 8

Are euglenoids autotrophic or heterotrophic?

Answer 8

Can be both, overlaps with zooflagellate protozoa

Answer 9

Red tide

Question 10

Dinoflagellate color and location

Answer 10

Red orange or brown, found in marine or freshwater

Question 11

Dinflagellate structure

Answer 11

unicellular, flagellated (spins through water), can be bioluminescent, two grooves in cell which are perpendicular to each other, bizzare shaped

Question 12

Are dinoflagellates heterotrophic or autotrophic?

Answer 12

Can be either, overlap with zooflagellate protozoa

Question 13

Diatomaceous Earth

Answer 13

fossilized diatoms which can be used for silver polish, swimming pool filters, and toothpaste

Question 14

2 interesting characteristics of diatoms cell walls

Answer 14

cell walls that are in two pieces that fit together like a box and a lid, contains silica which makes it gas like

Question 15

Diatom structure

Answer 15

non-flagellated, unicellular, small pores in their cell walls which form delicate patterns

Question 22

3 things red algae is known for

Answer 22

1. mostly filamentous, but sticks together to look multicellular
2. be more delicate than brown algae, grows in lace-like patterns
3. have gel-like cell wall byproducts which are used for thickenings & cosmetics

Question 23

What is agar?

Answer 23

Comes from red algae and used as a medium to grow cultures in microbiology
