“Watennelon snow” in Antarctica is caused by a species of photosynthetic green algae that thrives in subzero temperatures (Chlamydomonas nivalis). These algae areaalsofound in high- altitude year-round snowfields. In both locations, UV light levels tend to be high. Based on what you learned in this chapter, proposc an explanation for why thisphotosyntheticalga appears reddish-pink.

The main product of fossil fuel combustion is CO2 , and thisis the source of the increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration. Scientistshave proposed strategically situating containers of these algae near industrialplants or near highly congested city streets. Considering the process ofphotosynthesis, how does this arrangement make sense?
Chemolithrophs near hydrothermal vents support a variety of other life forms there. Explain now their role is analogous to that of photosynthetic organisms in the terrestrial environment.
Watermelon snow” in Antarctica is caused by a species of photosynthetic green algae that thrives in subzero temperatures (Chlamydomonas nivalis). These algae are also found in high altitude year-round snowfields. In both locations, UV light levels tend to be high. Based on what you learned this week, propose an explanation for why this photosynthetic alga appears reddish-pink.
