Ochrophyta - Phaeophycaceae Flashcards
difference between class Phaeophycaceae and other Ochrophyta-classes?
- Location of flagella (if present)
- laterally, and NOT (sub)apically
thalli in Laminariales and Fucales
- cortex = outermost layer of photosynthetic cells
- medulla = inner layer of non-pigmented cells
what does the cortex do?
- produce mucilages
- protects thallus from drying during emersion
order: Ectocarpales
- filamentous, uniseriate branched
Order: Dictyotales
- parenchymatous thalli
- regular dichotomous branching pattern
- thallus with 3 layers:
1) small cells containing many chloroplasts on each of two outer layers –> involved in PS
2) large pale cells, devoid of chloroplasts, with storage function, in the inner layer
Order: Dictyotales
order: Desmarestiales
- thalli depending on life cycle
- left +. right: microthalli
middle: macrothalli –> flattened, presence of blades, small blades attached
flattened acid kelps
- order: Desmarestiales
- cold temperate waters
- produce sulfuric acid as protection from herbivores
life cycle Laminariales
- macrothalli: Sporophyte
- large
- foliose
- parenchymatous
- highly differentiated - microthalli: gametophytic phase
Among Desmarestiales there is the species Desmarestia antarctica and two endemic genera of Antarctica: Himantothallus and Phaeurus. These two genera, moreover, are monospecific.
