Dinoflagellates live in the top 200 feet of the ocean.
Well dinoflagellates live in either salt water or many live in fresh water like in lakes or ponds.
Dinoflagellates are microorganisms that usually live in marine water. However there are some that live in fresh water. Another name for a dinoflagellate is a protist.
The scientific name for dinoflagellates is Dinophyceae.
dinoflagellates give off light which is known as luminscent
flagella
When dinoflagellates bloom, it means there is a sudden and rapid increase in their population. This can lead to the water appearing discolored or "red tide," which can have negative impacts on marine ecosystems and human health.
Zooxanthellae are a type of dinoflagellate that live in the "skin" of hard coral. It's a symbiotic relationship where the zooxanthellae are photosynthetic and produce nutrients for the host coral.
Kelp, seaweed, phytoplankton, dinoflagellates, diatoms, sea lettuce, algae, etc.
zooflagellates are more animal-like flagellates (eg, triconympha that live in the digestive tract of termites), and dinoflagellates are more plant-like flagellates (phytoflagellates) - Autotrophic organisms.
Yes?
The whip-like strands on dinoflagellates are called flagella. They are used for movement and navigation in their aquatic environment. Dinoflagellates can have one or two flagella, which help propel them through the water.
All dinoflagellates have a green pigment!
