Textbook Question
Chapter 25, Problem 9TYU
FOCUS ON INTERACTIONS
Organisms interact with each other and the physical environment. In a short essay (100‒150 words), explain how the response of diatom populations to a drop in nutrient availability can affect both other organisms and aspects of the physical environment (such as carbon dioxide concentrations).

Phytoplankton like diatoms and dinoflagellates are critical organisms in the world oceans. They are essential primary producers and an important link in energy transfer relationships. How do diatoms and dinoflagellates differ?
The diatoms are a group of the algae characterised by having a silica cell wall. Give an overview of diatom based bio-monitoring

Dinoflagellates are bioluminescent, but only at night. During the day, they carry out photosynthesis similar to other autotrophs. At night, however, they bioluminesce every time they are disturbed. They are often seen in the wakes of ships at night. While the reason for this bioluminescence is not fully understood, many scientists concur that it is a form of self-defense. If small fish begin to feed upon the protists, the protists will begin to bioluminesce. These flashes of light in the dark water can alert larger fish and draw them towards the small fish, upon which they prey. By making the small fish vulnerable, the dinoflagellates are able to protect themselves. Based on the information above, a researcher decides to design an experiment in which she is testing how long it takes for dinoflagellates to recover after different amounts of disturbance.

- answer ASAP.arrow_forwardSee imagearrow_forwardResearch an interesting example of mutualism, and present your findings in a post. The goal here is to provide examples beyond what is presented in lecture and/or your textbook. These can be animal-animal, animal-fungal, plant-fungal, plant-animal, bacteria-animal....the sky is the limit! For this particular forum, you'll be able to see other classmates postings even before you post your own. This is so you can present an example that's different from what's already been discussed. Remember that mutualistic interactions are associations that benefit both parties -- so your response should clearly indicate the role each partner plays. Let us know where these organisms are found, what kind of habitat they live in, and any other interesting , pertinent information. Also, please comment on how natural selection likely played a role in the development of your example. You can use your imagination a bit here -- I'd just like to see you connect the ideas.
