What is the limiting nutrient for algae growth phosphorus nitrogen or carbon?
All three are limiting nutrients for algae growth, along with light.
A green algae such as Chlorella would show the least growth when exposed to light of which color?
grean
How Is the light made by algae natural?
Light is made by algae by a chemical reaction that the algae produces in order for the algae itself to have enough food to survive. I suppose it is quite a natural and interesting chemical reaction.
How do choanoflagettes breathe?
Light or algae
What types of algae are in the deep ocean?
red algae red algae contain a pigment r-phycoerythrin which absorbs blue light and reflects red light. blue light can penetrate deeper parts of sea than other lights of higher wavelengths. hence we find red algae in deep sea oceans

Does the color of light used on plants effect how well they grow?

Do angelfish need light?
All tropical fish need light, as they tend to live near the surface around coral reefs. It is no different if the fish is kept in a tropical fish tank. Too much light duration will result in excessive algae growth in a fish tank. Therefore, light duration should be regulated to keep algae growth to a minimum.
How might algae growth near the surface of a pond affect living organisms living in the pond?
The algae will reduce both air and light causing the organisms in the pond to die.
How long does it take for algae to build up in a fish tank?
There is no set time. Once a tank is set up there will be a combination of water, light and nutrients. They are the necessary things required to support the growth of all plants. The more light and nutrients available the quicker the Algae will grow. Algae are the most primitive plants and they will be there from the start although they may not be visible to the naked eye at that early stage. There is no way to stop Algae from forming but its growth can be limited by providing competition for the light and food by having other aquatic plants growing in the tank.
Is algae at the top of a ocean?
You don't find any algae growing much deeper than 60 feet (20 meters) because the light that is necessary for their growth is filtered out by the water. Algae, therefore, is found only near the surface.
What lets the plant grow up towards the light?
Growth towards light is regulated by hormones called auxins. Auxins stimulate growth in the area of the plant that they are found and are produced by the tip of a stem. In sunlight they break down. As such there are more auxins on the shaded side of the plant. This will cause more growth on one side of the plant which will make it grow towards the light.
Do you need to turn off the aquarium lights for guppies to mate?
not necessarily but it is a good idea to turn off the light at night to prevent algae growth.
What is eutrophicating?
EutrophicationEutrophication is a process in which bodies of water (lakes, ponds, and rivers) receive excess nutrients that stimulate excessive growth of algae. The two most common nutrients that initiate eutrophication are nitrogen and phosphorous, two limiting nutrients in the growth of algae. These two nutrients are usually introduced to the body of water through fertilizer run-off. The uncontrolled growth of algae and their subsequent descent into the depths of the body of water stimulates an active benthic community (bacteria), which depletes oxygen levels due to respiration. The algae may also cover the surface of the water, reducing the amount of light that penetrates into the photic zone, decreasing photosynthesis in aquatic autotrophs. The decreased level of dissolved oxygen can result in the death of any number of larger communities.See related links below for more information about eutrophication and the effect it has on the ecosystem.
What affects algal growth with increasing depth in the ocean?
light, light decreases with depth, affecting photosynthesis The deeper in the ocean you go, the less sunlight is present, and the less vigorous are algae. At some particular depth, the algae can no longer support themselves, so they cannot live at the depth (or deeper).
How Is the light made by algae natural?
Light is made by algae by a chemical reaction that the algae produces in order for the algae itself to have enough food to survive. I suppose it is quite a natural and interesting chemical reaction.
