“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.

- Compare photo litho autotrophy with chemo-organo heterotrophy. Sun light is the ultimate source of energy and all living organisms obtain their energy directly or indirectly from the sun. However in deep-sea vents (where there is no sun light) life has originated and the many groups of microorganisms are flourishing in such environment. How? Explain your reasoningarrow_forwardBesides adaptation to low light intensities, are there any other adaptations in the photosynthetic pigments found in bacteria that live in the vicinity of deep-ocean thermal vents?arrow_forwardAs with plant adaptations againstherbivores, other biological processes can involve multiple levelsof biological organization (Figure 1.3).

- Why might chemosynthetic communities exist only in places like the deep-ocean floor rather than across a wide range of land and sea habitats, the way photosynthesis-based communities are?arrow_forwardAnimal cells have neither cell walls nor chloro-plasts, whereas plant cells have both. Fungal cells aresomewhere in between; they have cell walls but lack chlo-roplasts. Are fungal cells more likely to be animal cells thatgained the ability to make cell walls, or plant cells that losttheir chloroplasts?

How do you suppose that this questionwas eventually decided?arrow_forwardCoral 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?arrow_forward
