Marine Bio

Algae, Seaweeds, Diatoms etc

QuestionAnswer
DEF of Autotrophs organisms that use energy to make organic matter
What provides bouncy for algae? pneumatocysts
Pigments of Chlorophyta? And it's food reserve? Chlorophyll a and b. Starch food reserve
Class: Codium Dead man's fingers (Chlorophyta)
Class: Caulerpa Killer Algae (Chlorophyta)
Pigments of Ochrophyta? Food reserve? Chlorophyll a, c and fucoxanthin. Mamitol and oil
Tips filled with mucus and hold gametes called? What class? Receptacle and conceptical. Class: Fucus (Ochrophyta)
Sargassum: in what phylum? Description? Ochrophyta. Serrated leaves, air bladders
Egregia Feather Boa Kelp (Ochrophyta)
Macrocystis Pacific/Cali Kelp (ochrophyta)
Pigments of Rhodophyta and food reserve? Chlorophyll a, d and phycobilins. Red algal starch
Mitosis DEF Cell division wherein the resulting cells are identical to origin, with chromosomes in pairs
Meiosis DEF cell division where resulting cells are haploid
Unicellular Algae Phylums Dinophyta = dinoflagellates Bacillariophhta = diatoms
Dinoflagellates (chlorophyll, flagella) Chlorophyll a and c. Girdle flagella: goes around organism Longitudinal Flagella: moves it forward
Toxic Dinoflagellate Blooms (types) Ciguatera fish poisoning (CFP): live on red/ brown algae Paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP): tongue and throat paralyzed
Symbiotic Dinoflagellate zooxanthellae: algae gives sugar
Bacillariophta (chlorophyl, reproduction) Chlorophyl a, c, carotenoids and xanthophylls. Asexual reproduction until too small to float, then sexual
Amnesic shellfish poisoning (ASP) Caused by Pseudo-nitzchia, make diatomic acid.
Surf diatoms shapes Chaetoceros: spikes Asterionella: starshapes (beachfoam)
Class: Zoostera (roots, dispersal) Eelgrass, roots in sand/ mud. Dispersal very close to parents
Uniphasic life cycle Like us, Fucus, Sargassum, Codium Diploid through meiosis to gametes through fertilization to Zygote
Biphasic Same? Different? Same sporo and gameto: Isomorphic (Ulva). Different: Heteromorphic (Kelps)
Biphasic Cycle Sporophyte through meiosis to gametophyte spore (male and female). Through fertilization to zygote, back to sporophyte.
Triphasic Phases and Algae Gametophyte (N), Carposporophyte (2N, makes diploid spores), Tetrasporophyte (2N, undergoes meiosis, and makes spores) Rhodophyta
