Summary Introduction
Introduction:
“Dinoflagellates” have a rough encrusted surface with grooves. They have two flagella on their surface. These organisms are bioluminescent and produce green-blue light. They produce red-tides in warm temperature conditions. Diatoms are phytoplankton’s that have a deposition of silica on their surface. They are used in the manufacturing of toothpaste and metal polishing. Chlorophytes are green algae, which have chloroplasts for the fixation of carbon-dioxide in the air.

Group of answer choices Autotrophs Heterotrophs Mixotrophsarrow_forwardYou are given five test tubes, each containing an unknown protist, and your task is to read the description below and match these five protists that you know to the correct test tube. -Paramecium -Pfiesteria (dinoflagellate) -Navicula (diatom) -Plasmodium -Amoeba In test tube 1, you sketch the organism and come up with a picture that looks like the one below. You note the organism appears to be “eating” the smaller microorganism. Chemical analysis of test tube 2 indicates the presence of a chemical that is toxic to fish and humans. In test tube 3, you detect the presence of substantial amounts of silica. Microscopic analysis of organisms in tube 4 reveals the presence of an apicoplast in the organism Microscopic analysis of the contents in tube 5 reveals the presence of one large macronucleus and several small micronuclei in each organism Match the description with the correct protistarrow_forward
