What is the genus of algae?
Blue-green algae or Cyanophyceae uses photosynthesis to create food. The genus is called Oscillatoria. They are closely related to bacteria.
Phylum of blue green algae?
The term "green algae" a broad, sweeping class of algae from the kingdom plantae in either the division Chlorophyta or Charophyta.
What is the Scientific name for flagellated protozoan?
The scientific name is given to flagella can be in three main categories. They include bacterial flagella, eukaryotic flagella and archaeal flagella. As a matter of fact, flagella is a scientific name.
What is algae technically called?
Algae are protists. Protists are organisms in the kingdom Protist and made up of single or multiple cells which all contain a nucleus enclosed by a membrane. The protists are a diverse group of eukaryotes that cannot be classified as animals, plants, or fungi. Organisms in the Protista kingdom also include amoebae.
How big are green algae in water?
Not long if they land on me, horrid tickly things. This is a tricky one to ask as there are around 4,400 different types of greenfly and, as one might expect, there is some degree of variation in the lifespan of different types. It's also worth remembering that a greenfly is only one stage of the insect we call an aphid's life - it spends time as a nymph (pre-adult) and as an egg (in most cases - unusually for an insect, some species can produce live young). The common greenfly we see in the UK is called Brevicoryne brassicae, the cabbage aphid. Nymphs hatch from eggs after about a week to 12 days. The time the individual then takes to develop into the adult greenfly then probably depends more on environmental factors than time - ie, availability of food, temperature etc. However, once it does, a female will be able to produce young for around a month at a rate of five or six per day, after which she will die. I've been unable to find any similar data for male aphids - but "about six weeks" seems a reasonable answer to your question. Here's some interesting greenfly facts: Greenfly can reproduce asexually - that is, a female does not need a male in order to produce young. They've been around for about 280 million years, far longer than humans have. Ants farm aphids in much the same way that we farm cows - the ants collect a sticky substance known as honeydew which made by the aphids and in return protect them from predators. Greenfly often travel vast distances on wind currents - individuals marked in the UK have been found as far away as Russia.
