SCUM on/in anything is not something to ingest, please!
Yes, it should be a plant type base, but most likely has a poisonous factor to it.
Scum on lake waters, carry a toxin that if it gets up your nose, it fatal. We have had a couple fatalities each summer, mostly late summer when it develops. The young children are in those numbers as well as teens.
You do not let your animals ingest from scum water. Sometimes dogs will lap from unclean water sources, that is why one of their necessary shots is for that bacterium.

You notice green scum floating on the surface of a pond How can you tell whether these organisms are plants?
You notice green scum floating on the surface of a pond. How can you tell whether these organisms are plants? Examine the scum. Touch it, what texture does it have? Does it move away from your hand when it touches the water? If it is algae, it should feel slimy and spongy. It shouldn't move away from your hand, instead it should wrap around your fingers and hand. Also, plants chloroplasts are green which can be another indicator that it is a plant. Look at it then try and find pictures of algae that might look the similar. If you find a picture that looks the same and it IS an algae, then the scum is a plant.

How would you tell if a cell is a bacteria cell or a plant cell?
fIRST LOOK AT THE SHAPE. bACTERIA TEND TO HAVE A BLOB LIKE STRUCTURE. aND pLANT CELLS HAVE RIGID, RECTANGLE LIKE CELL WALLS. nEXT LOOK AT THE NUCLEUS... bACTERIS HAVE NO NUCLEUS, JUST A SET OF CHROMOSOMES. pLANt CELLS HAVE nUCLEUS WHICH YOU CAN EASILY TELL IF IT'S THERE. LASTLY LOOK AT COLOUR, pLANT CELLS USUALLY TEND TO BE GREEN BECAUSE THEY HAVE CHLOROPLASTS THAT TAKE UP MOST OF THE SPCE IN THE CELLL MAKING IT GREEN.
