Coral reefs, bleaching, and climate change
- Where are the dinoflagellates located inside the coral polyp?
- What part of the dinoflagellate (the algae) is actually damaged by excess energy
- When stimulated by too much energy (light or heat), what does the algae begin to produce? And how does this product impact the coral poly?
- Why is bleaching so detrimental to the coral animal itself?
- Why is bleaching damaging to the entire reef ecosystem?

- Coral reefs, bleaching, and climate change What part of the dinoflagellate (the algae) is actually damaged by excess energy? 2. When stimulated by too much energy (light or heat), what does the algae begin to produce? And how does this product impact the coral polyp?Dinoflagellates are unicellular, marine protists. 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. She maintains 10 containers of dinoflagellates with similar temperature, salinity and…Dinoflagellates are unicellular, marine protists. Dinoflagellates are bioluminescent, but only at night.

- What’s this about bioluminescence in dinoflagellates having evolved, possibly, as an “intrusion alarm”?How many photons does a dinoflagelate emit per second? What is an example of cold light in a bioluminescent bacteria/chemicals/etc. ? What is an example of hot light in a bioluminescent bacteria/chemicals/etc. ? What is an example of blue light in a bioluminescent bacteria/chemicals/etc. ? What does the amount of light prodused by bioluminescence have to do with the type of light(cold light, hot light, blue light, etc.) produced?With which of the following is a dinoflagellate associated?(a) Most usually have flagella and can carry out photosyn-thesis.(b) Some produce toxins that accumulate in the bodies ofshellfish.(c) Blooms of dinoflagellates are known as the ‘‘red tide.’’(d) Inhalation of air that contains small quantities of dino-flagellate toxin can cause respiratory membrane irrita-tion in sensitive individuals.(e) All of the above are characteristics associated withdinoflagellates.
- The prtists that causes malaria evolved from a photosynthetic ancestor and has the remnant of a chloroplast. The organelle no longer functions in photosynthesis, but it remains essential to the protist. Why might targeting this organelle yield an antimalarial drug that produces minimal side effects in humans?What is the source of energy for fungi? What is the source of energy for protozoa? What is the source of energy for bacteria? What is the source of energy for viruses? What is the source of energy for helminths? What is the source of energy for algea?Apicomplexans evolved from a photosynthetic ancestor and have the remnant of a chloroplast. This organelle no longer acts in photosynthesis, but remains essential to the protist. Why might targeting this organelle yield an antimalarial drug with minimal side effects in humans?
- Describe the morphological and ecological attributes of the red algae? How do they compare to dinoflagellates, diatoms, and brown algae? Are red algae found in Pennsylvania? How are they important to humans? And are they edible?Algae are autotrophs and can have photosynthesis, however, evolutionary evidence suggests that plants shared a common ancestor with only green algae and are closest relatives of Charophytes. What evidences support this statement? How an algal cell is different from fungal cells, even if both are eukaryotes? Why slime mold is a protist not a fungus even if it does not have chloroplast?How do pigments such as phycoerythrin in red algae and fucoxanthin inbrown algae benefit these autotrophic protists?a. The pigments provide camouflage, so herbivores cannot see thealgae.b. The pigments absorb blue-green underwater light and transfer theenergy to chlorophyll a for use in photosynthesis.c. The pigments attract aquatic animals that carry gametes betweenseaweeds.d. The pigments absorb UV light that would harm the photosyntheticapparatus.e. All of the above are correct.
