Question
Answer
Viruses   show
🗑
Virus structure include:   show
🗑
Retroviruses   show
🗑
show reproduce by inserting their DNA into the DNA of the host cell  
🗑
show viruses that infect bacteria  
🗑
show -They are very common in marine waters and can infect everything from plankton to marine mammals - Lysis (bursting) of viral infected cells release large amounts of organic matter to be utilized by other organisms (DOM)  
🗑
show -No nucleus -Single chromosome (normally circular) - some also with plasmids -Cell wall, but different in biochemical structure  
🗑
More about Archaea   show
🗑
Bacteria:   show
🗑
Special Features of Bacteria   show
🗑
show photosynthetic bacteria  
🗑
show massive calcareous mounds formed by cyanobacteria, have been found that are 3 billion years old  
🗑
Photosynthesis   show
🗑
show derive energy from chemical compounds  
🗑
show derive energy from organic matter by respiration  
🗑
Diatoms   show
🗑
More info on diatoms   show
🗑
show can accumulate in the tissues or organisms that eat diatoms such as shellfish and small fish -Larger organisms that eat these shellfish or small fish can become ill or die from this accumulated toxin  
🗑
Reproduction in Diatoms:   show
🗑
show diatoms get smaller each time they reproduce -To restore they must either sexually reproduce or cast off the frustule and secrete a new frustule  
🗑
show -Mostly marine -Mostly photosynthetic,some ingest particles -Each species has unique shape reinforced by plates of cellulose  
🗑
More about Dinoflagellates:   show
🗑
show are important dinoflagellates that live in a symbiotic relationship with corals, sea anemones and other organisms (many of these host organisms have little or no growth without their symbiotic partner)  
🗑
show “blooms”This is a result of high levels of nutrients in the water These blooms can be harmful to marine organisms and even people at times  
🗑
Red Tide   show
🗑
show produces very serious toxins that can cause massive fish kills, harm shellfish and impair the nervous systems - Was discovered near the Outer Banks in North Carolina  
🗑
show Star-shaped internal skeleton of silica Two flagella of varying lengths  
🗑
show Ornate shells of calcium carbonate  
🗑
Foraminiferans (forams)   show
🗑
Foraminiferans can also   show
🗑
Radiolarians   show
🗑
Ciliates   show
🗑
show -Eukaryotic and mostly multicellular -Heterotrophic -Most of the 1500 of marine species are microscopic  
🗑
show detritus  
🗑
show lichens  
🗑
show wave-splashed areas of rocky shorelines and other hard substrate  
🗑
show important primary producers (photosynthetic) These algae are called by a generic term “seaweeds” or more formal term macroalgae  
🗑
The body of a macroalgae is known as a   show
🗑
show Blades – leaf-like structures Stipes – stem-like structures Holdfast – root-like structures  
🗑
show gas-filled bladders used to keep the blades near the water’s surface where more light is available for photosynthesis  
🗑
Two primary examples of marine algae with pneumatocysts are   show
🗑
Like plants, algae exhibit a life history marked by   show
🗑
show A gametophyte stage produces gametes (eggs and sperm) that will fuse to become a zygote. This zygote then develops into a second stage, the sporophyte, that produces spores. These spores develop into the gametophyte stage and the cycle begins again  
🗑
show vegetative growth  
🗑
show an algae reproduces new individuals that are genetically identical to the parent algae.  
🗑
algin or alginate   show
🗑
Another example of an extract is the carrageenan harvested from red algae. Carrageenan is also used as a   show
🗑
show culture microbes in the health care industry. It is also used as a thickener in foods, used as a filler in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics and to protect canned meats  
🗑
show -Thought to be ancestor of land plants ~ 7000 species;< 1000 are marine -Found worldwide -Some coralline (produce calcium carbonate,) -Chlorophylls A and B as well as carotenoids -Store excess energy as starch -Cellulose in cell walls  
🗑
Brown algae (Phaeophyta)   show
🗑
show -Kelps are the largest of Algae (some species up to 100 ft in length -Amongst the most productive marine habitats  
🗑
Sargassum is a species of brown algae found in the   show
🗑
Red Algae (Rhodophyta)   show
🗑
Angiosperms:   show
🗑
Plants that do live in marine communities must have   show
🗑
Seagrasses   show
🗑
Seagrasses are known for:   show
🗑
Eelgrass   show
🗑
Salt marsh Plants   show
🗑
Cordgrass Spartina   show
🗑
Detritus serves as   show
🗑
Spartina plants possess   show
🗑
show -70 species only on tropical and sub-tropical -Like Spartina, they only tolerate partial salt water submergence  
🗑
show have a thick network of prop roots that are heavily exposed at low tide  
🗑
Black mangroves   show
🗑
Seeds of the red mangrove   show
🗑
show salt glands to help deal with excess salt  
🗑
show -70 species only on tropical and sub-tropical -Like Spartina, they only tolerate partial salt water submergence  
🗑
show have a thick network of prop roots that are heavily exposed at low tide  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
