Step by step
Solved in 2 steps
- Explain how the presence of algae can indicate either pollution or productivity of a body of water.The variety and sizes of algae found in the oceans are considerably greater than those of freshwater forms. Can you suggest reasons?During the summer of 2015 a harmful algal bloom took place off thecoast of Central California. In the weeks and months that followed,officials banned the sale of clams, oysters, and crabs, and several sealions in the area were found sick or dead. How do these events relateto one another?
- Describe the two most common symbiotic relationships algae are found in.This is marine biology a) Where do macroalgae tend to live? Middle of the ocean or continental shelf? Why? b) What are two examples of “stiff” algae? What are they made of and what phylum do they belong to? c) What colors do green algae use for photosynthesis? What color do they NOT use? d) Which algal phylum is best adapted to deeper water? Why?e) Would you rather go swimming at a Japanese beach or a California beach? ExplainWhich drawing of the intertidal region correctly represents Chthamalus' fundamental niche with an oval and correctly represents the Chthamalus' realized niche with a rectangle? Image A O Image B O Image C Image D B. C. 1 D.
- Why can red algae grow at deeper depths of water than green algae?Why In ponds where there are viable fish and plant populations, algae are seldom seen. Explain. People who have backyard ponds often keep snails and tadpoles in the ponds. Explain the purpose of these organisms.More about zonation Click on the question marks to change them to a check mark for each statement that is TRUE or a blank box if the statement is NOT TRUE about vertical zonation. Kelps and corraline algae can be found along the lower intertidal and subtidal zones. ? The lower intertidal is dominated by seaweeds. The first stage of ecological succession in the rocky intertidal is the establishment of bacteria and microscopic algae. Green, brown and red algae on the upper intertidal are able to fix nitrogen from the air. The effect of a keystone species can easily be judged by how abundant it is.
- Ruminants (like cattle) are herbivores but lack the necessary enzymes to digest cellulose from plants. Part of the digestive tract of ruminants contains a microbial community that can break down cellulose. These microbes gain energy from the plant material, and byproducts of their metabolism provide the host with a source of Carbon and energy. What type of symbiosis does this relationship describe?Why are red algae red? What distinguishes plasmodial and cellular slime molds? What are the ecological roles of protists? Why are photosynthetic protists so important to marine/aquatic ecosystems? What limits the growth of these organisms and what causes blooms? What will be affected if marine producers are disrupted?What is it called when organisms buried in the sediment use special structures to filter plankton from the clear water above? Give an example of an organisms like this mentioned in the text.
