Chapter 56, Problem 1IQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The reason that more calories are required to support algae than required to support humans.
Introduction: The autotrophs that are capable of synthesizing carbohydrates by harvesting the energy from light are called photoautotrophs. The heterotrophs are the organisms that function as primary, secondary, and tertiary consumers in the food chain. They are all animals including humans.

- 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.

- Penicillin inhibits bacterial growth by preventing the cross-linking during peptidoglycan synthesis. Why does penicillin not inhibit growth of archaeal cells? Group of answer choices Most archaeal cells have a cell wall, but it is not composed of peptidoglycan. Archaeal cells do not have a cell wall. Penicillin is unable to penetrate the lipid outer membrane that blocks access of penicillin to the peptidogycan crosslinking enzymes. Pencillin is unable to penetrate the S layer to reach the peptidoglycan layer underneath.arrow_forwardCoral reefs, bleaching, and climate change What part of the dinoflagellate (the algae) is actually damaged by excess energy? 2.
