18
Q

19
Q

Why is some algae green?

A

The cell walls are made of cellulose

20
Q

Diatoms cell walls made of ? And what appearance does it have?

A

Made of silica and shiny appearance

21
Q

Are all protists eukaryotic or prokaryotic?

A

Eukaryotic

22
Q

Protists way of reproduction ?

A

Asexually by binary fission but some algae is sexual

23
Q

Where are protists found ?

A

Water environment mostly

24
Q

What is plankton ?

A

Numerous microbes floating in currents of open seas

25
Q

What is the animal part of plankton called ?

A

Zooplankton

26
Q

What is the plant part of plankton called ?

A

Phytoplankton

27
Q

What are the five importance of algae ?

A

1) producers food ( phytoplankton)
2) releases O2
3) provides habitat- kelp bed
4) indicates fresh water
- very polluted ( euglena)
- less polluted ( blue- green algae)
- barely polluted ( very green algae)
5) harvested as fertilizer

28
Q

What type of algae is found in very polluted water?

A

Euglena

29
Q

What type of algae is found is barely polluted water ?

A

Green algae

30
Q

What type of algae is found is less polluted water ?

A

Blue- green algae

31
Q

Euglena does is contain chlorophyll?

A

Yes

32
Q

Euglena- autotrophic or Hetrotrophic?

A

Autotrophic

33
Q

What happens in Euglena is kept in the dark.

A

It looses its chlorophyll and becomes saprophytic

34
Q

What division is euglena placed in?

A

Euglenoids

35
Q

Does a euglena have a cell wall , and of not , what replaces it ?

A

It does not have a cell wall but instead and flexible pellicle just below the cell membrane

36
Q

What is a pellicle ?

A

A protein coat

37
Q

What is red tide ?

A

It occurs because of upwelling . Dormant spores of dinoflagellates which sank to bottom of sea last summer are brought to didactic with nutrient -rich water . Spores germinate and reproduce ( favorable conditions)
