Chromatic Adaptation
The alteration of kinds and quantities of photosynthetic pigments in response to changes in quantity and quality of light
Green algae has chlorophyl _ and _ and what accessory pigments?
a and b and carotenoids
Red algae has what types of chlorophyl and accessory pigments?
a and d as well as phycobillins
Brown algae has what types of chlorophyl and accessory pigments?
a and c and fucoxanthin
Two ways that seaweeds reproduce
Fragmentation and spores
Possession of two or more multicellular stages ( asexual sporophyte and sexual gametophyte) in succession is called
Alternation of generations
mechanism to reduce herbavory in seaweed by being in a different place or time than the herbivore
Avoidance; small size, crevice habitat, growth patterns (algal turf)
mechanism to deter herbavory by repelling a predator
Detterence; Toxins, calcium carbonate
Mechanism to compensate for loss of tissue to herbivory
Tolerance; rapid growth, large size, rapid reproduction

Chlorophyta, rhodophyta and phaeophyta
Any organism that grows on a multicellular primary producer
Epiphyte (red algae)
Any organism that growns on an animal
Epizoics (red algae)
Chemicals in cell wall that improve flexibility and strength of red/brown algae and may be used for human use
