“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.

- Labe A. CHLOROPHYTA (Green Algae) Observe the structure of algae provided in the laboratory. Label the following diagrams. (a) Chlorella (b) Chlamydomonas Differentiate the structure between genus (a) and (b).arrow_forwardWhat are 5 different examples of cold light in a bioluminescent bacteria/chemicals/etc.in a normal situation? What are 5 different examples of blue light in a bioluminescent bacteria/chemicals/etc.in a normal situation? How many photons of light emitted by a dinoflagellate per second in it's normal/usual environement and situation? How could the amount of photons of light produced by a dinoflagellate per second differ in an unusual environement and situation? Does it change at all?arrow_forwardWhat type of bioluminscence produces 1000 photons of light per second in a normal situation without predators? What are some other types of bioluminescent bactirium and how much light do they produce in a normal situation? How many photons are emited by luciferin and luciferase in a normal situation? Amount of light emited per amount of bacterium.arrow_forward
- How does the life cycle of a typical Red alga (Phylum Rhodophyta) differ from any other life histories covered in the course thus far? Don't forget to highlight these differences by comparing them to the basic types (i.e sporic, gametic, or zygotic meiosis)!arrow_forwardWhat is a trichome?arrow_forwardPlease answer asap and in short and content should not be palgarised pleasearrow_forward
- 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…arrow_forwardDinoflagellates are unicellular, marine protists.
