lab 2-3 review extra Flashcards
***Dinoflagellates -
2 perpendicular flagella ((Transverse (in groove); longitudinal (free))
- covering made up of plates of cellulose
- Large part of phytoplankton
- Zooxanthellae” = symbiotic with coral
- causes red tides
- algal bloom/eutrophication
Desmids
-Unicellular
◦Belong to the Charophyte group of green algae
◦Consists of 2 halves that are a mirror-image of one
Volvox
volvox:
Colonial = association of independent cells
◦Up to 50,000 cells
◦Can’t live alone
◦Form hollow spheres of many cells arranged in a single layer on periphery
-Daughter colonies develop within parental colony (an enzyme dissolves part of parental wall so they can escape when mature!)
Reproduction—-
◦Oogamy – sperm swims tononmotile egg to form
a diploid zygote
◦Asexual – volvox cells divide, bulge inward, and produce new colonies called; daughter colonieS
***Spirogyra
- **Spirogyra
- Filamentous
- Mucilage = feels slippery
- Winter = 2n zygotes “hibernate”
-Belong to Charophyte group
***Chlamydomonas
***Chlamydomonas
***Pyrenoid = starch production & storage
***Stigma = light-sensing spot
◦Unicellular
◦Motile
◦2 flagella
***Laminaria
“Kelp”
***Cell walls contain a mucilaginous material that inhibits desiccation
-One of the largest
algae species
Sarggasum
Sargasso Sea
“Gulfweed”
****Open-ocean freefloating algae =holopelagi NW Atlantic (***Sargasso Sea***)
◦Carribean Sea
◦Gulf of Mexico
◦“Oasis in the desert of ocean”
Fucus
“Rockweed” ◦Intertidal -Holdfast ◦Multicellular conceptacles -Oogonia eggs -Antheridia sperm
Euglenoids
Both plant like and animal like ( Autotrophs, Heterotrophs, Saprotroph)
◦Unicellular ◦FW flagellates ◦Protein pellicle ◦Light-sensing eyespot/ stigma ◦Photo-heterotrophs ◦Some have chloroplasts & can photosynthesize ◦Some are saprophytic
what has porous shells made of calcium carbonate, giving them a chalky appearance and texture.
