before I begin, I feel it necessary to inform you, the simple-minded readers of today's growing society (whom which I constantly frown upon,) of my inflamatory credentials and thorogh expertice in the Marine Plantationfield.

In the first 10 years of my post-secondary acedemic life, I studied under the supervision and mentorship of Dr. A. Frizzle, PhD, at the University of Illinois, majoring the the field of Marine Plantology. In the feild, I focused on the discoulouration and pigment of algae, rockweed, and other plant residue, so on and so forth. 'Tis then that I became aware of two invasive algae species, Red and Brown Algae, in addition to the uncany logic behind the transmutation of this remarkable species.

Red Algae and Brown Algae, though know by the average uneducated individual as two seprate species, are quite simply, one in the same, as they are differentiated exclusivley by the iron content in which they enduer in thier instinctive habitat.

Less often known by their joint, scientific name, "Eulgencryptobactiriae" was native to eastern Mexico, prior to being conveyed to Northern parts of Ontario, in addition to the Eastern sea board of the United States. Given these expances encopass more than 68% more iron then Eastern Mexico, it is evident that Eulgencryptobactiriae should aquire denser, red appearence, in addition to immunity against anemia.

On behaf of Marine Plantology, I would like to thank you, the uneducated public, for tacking an interest in Eulgencryptobactiriae, aswell as it's evolution appearence, and growth. If you are particularily interested in Eulgencryptobactiriae and would like to become a part of the AlgaeAchievement Program, a non-profit organisation dedicated to the observation and preservation of Algae, I encourage you to visit: www.http://Eulgencryptobactiriae:/AlgaeAchievment.org

Eulgencryptobactiriae: " Youll-Jen-Cripp-Toe-Back-Tear-Ee-Ae

An algae species with i high iorn content, causing it to be red of brown in colour.

Anemia: A state of low iron content in blood stream, most commonly occuring in vegitarians and non-meat consumers, whom which do not ingest enough green vegetables, and multigrains.

Answer 2

Algae exhibitÊdifferent colorsÊ because they contain different light absorbing pigments. These pigmentsÊ changes depending on the surroundingÊ light conditions (chromatic adaptation).

Answer 3

Brown algae are brown because of their two primary pigments which are fucoxanthin and chlorophyll. The mixture of the pigments causes the brown coloring.
