How can algae be responsible for the production of more oxygen then terrestrial or land plants?
Terrestrial plants means plants that live on land, are you asking for a comparison between hydrophytes (aquatic plants) and terrestrial plants (land plants) in regards to the symbiotic relationship with algae and which relationship does the algae produce more oxygen?
Does algae require sunlight to live?
It depends upon what kind of algae you are referring to. In general, most algae that humans interact with (the green stuff in pools and lakes, the symbiotic lichen algae on trees, etc.) do require oxygen, although aquatic algae derive their oxygen from the dissolved oxygen in the water.
What organism produces most of the food in aquatic ecosystem?
Its probably krill, or algae.
What do you call plants that live in water?
The shark is an animal that lives in water. Well Infact it depends on the type of water. It could be the pond or the sea, but if it is the Sean then yes, ^You^ are correct. But if it was the pond then Fish ( Big, medium and small ).
Why do biologists classify red and green algae with land plants?
Red and green algae are photosynthetic and are thus autotrophs. Otherwise, they are aquatic and (in the case of green algae) can be unicellular. But these are similarities that are not sufficient to define algae as true plants. All plants in the Kingdom Plantae are multicellular and terrestrial (ancestrally terrestrial in the case of waterlilies). Green algae are important in the study of plants as they show the base of the plant kingdom, hinting at what a common ancestor to the whole kingdom may have looked like. In particular, the charophytes are probably close to the common ancestor of all land plants. Thus, in the study of land plants, green algae can be considered the most recently diverged outgroup. And, earlier still, red algae diverged.
How does protococcus differ in the habitat from most of the green algae?
If I'm not mistaken, I believe it's that Protococcusspecies are chiefly terrestrial while most other green algae are aquatic.
What is the habitat of most plants?
Most protist are aquatic, meaning they live where ever water can be found such as lakes, swamps, oceans, etc..
Where can you buy live aquarium plants?
Most good pet shops should stock a wide variety of aquatic plants. There are also mail order suppliers on the web.
What kind of plants are most like algae?
Nonvascular plants are more similar to algae.
What are important plants for the ocean?
There are a wide variety of plants that live in the ocean, both plants with roots attached to the sea floor and plants which float in the water. The most common ocean plant is phytoplankton. Other plants include kelp, seagrass, and many types of algae,
Algae and other tiny organisms that live in water are classified as?
Algae and other tiny organisms that live in water are classified as plankton. Plankton are important members of aquatic ecosystems, serving as a food source for larger organisms and playing a role in nutrient cycling.
Do moose eat algae?
In my exploration of moose dietary habits, I've found that while moose are primarily herbivores and graze on various plants like shrubs, grasses, and aquatic vegetation, they are not typically known to consume algae as a significant part of their diet. Moose tend to feed on terrestrial vegetation, especially in forested environments. However, in certain circumstances, moose might inadvertently ingest small amounts of algae if it's present on the plants or aquatic vegetation they consume. Most of their diet consists of woody plants, buds, and aquatic vegetation rather than algae. It's fascinating how the dietary preferences of these majestic creatures contribute to their survival in diverse ecosystems. #MooseDiet #Herbivores #WildlifeFeedingHabits
