What does high levels of chloropyll in a lake represent?
lots of plants particularly water borne algae
What is the special adaptation of sloth?
The sloth is a good tasting meal for a jaguar and other predators. The sloth has algae growing on its fur, which helps it be camouflaged in the treetops. The sloth is a hard animal to search and hunt for, because it sits quietly in the trees when predators come. The sloth gets eaten mostly by jaguars and cougars.

How does algae benefit from aquatic turtles?
the symbiosis relationship between aquatic turtles is commensalism because the algae benefits by living on the turtle but the turtle is not affected by the algae at all.
Why does green algae grow in a sloths fur?
Green algae grows in a sloth's fur because the sloth's slow movement and low body temperature provide an ideal environment for algae to thrive. The algae benefits from the moisture and warmth in the sloth's fur, while the sloth gains camouflage from the green coloration. This relationship is a form of symbiosis where both the sloth and the algae benefit.
What is any close relationship between two species is called?
An example is the presence of algae in lichen or intestinal microbes in any animal. This is called symbiosis.
What is the role of algae bacteria symbiosis in oxidation pond?
Oxidation Ponds treat wastewater through the interaction of sunlight, bacteria and algae. Algae grow using energy from the sun and carbon dioxide and inorganic compounds released by bacteria in water. During the process of photosynthesis, the algae release oxygen needed by aerobic bacteria. Again bacteria digest sewage by decomposing it and releases CO2 and inorganic compounds needed for growth of algae. Thus Sewage is digested by bacteria by decomposing it. The cycle and relation between bacteria and algae for food is known as algae bacteria symbiosis.
How are lichens an example of a sybiotic relationship?
Lichens are a association of algae cells and fungi cells, it's not a species. Symbiosis means 'living together', or something like that.
What does high levels of chloropyll in a lake represent?
