What else can I help you with?
Can you be allergic to algae?
Yes, some people can be allergic to algae, especially when coming into contact with certain types of algae such as blue-green algae. Symptoms of allergy to algae can include skin rash, itching, sneezing, and difficulty breathing.
What types of algae are the major constituents of phytoplankton?
The major types of algae in phytoplankton include diatoms, dinoflagellates, cyanobacteria (blue-green algae), and coccolithophores. These algae play a vital role in marine ecosystems and contribute significantly to global primary production and nutrient cycling.
What are two major Groups of microorganism?
fungus and algae
What are the two major group of protists?
The two major groups of protists are protozoa (animal-like protists) and algae (plant-like protists). Protozoa are unicellular organisms that can be parasitic or free-living, while algae are photosynthetic protists that can be unicellular or multicellular.
Why is algae crucial to humans' livelihood on earth?
Algae are the major producers of oxygen that humans (and other living organisms) use for respiration.
Algae a plant or not?
Actually, algae is defined as being:primitive chlorophyll-containing mainly aquatic eukaryotic organisms lacking true stems and roots and leaveswordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn Algae is not a plant; however, it is likely a common ancestor to many plants. Scientists have difficulty agreeing on how to classify algae, but currently they are considered to be cyanobacteria (blue and green), while other algae types are considered to be of the Kingdom Protista.
What are the major groups of microorganisms?
Virus, Bacteria, Protozoa, Algae & Fungi
How would you classify algae?
Depends on the algae. Roughly speaking (this is not exhaustive), these are some of the major algal groups:Green algae - Aquatic relatives of plants.Red algae - Similar to green algae, but containing a red pigment.Brown algae - Many-celled aquatic algae, including kelp.Golden algae - Single-celled "plants" that form glass shells around them. Also called diatoms.Fire algae - Flagellate algae that whirl around when swimming. Also called dinoflagellates.
What are the major division in the plant Kingdom?
Algae, ferns, mosses, fungi, flowering plants
What is the major limiting factor in Mono Lake algae that effects everything else?
The major limiting factor in Mono Lake algae is phosphorus availability. Phosphorus is essential for algae growth, and the low levels of phosphorus in Mono Lake limit the algal population, which in turn affects the entire ecosystem as algae form the base of the food web.
What Algae are the major oxygen producers in a water environment?
The major oxygen producers in water environments are phytoplankton, specifically diatoms and cyanobacteria. These algae are capable of photosynthesis and play a crucial role in producing oxygen through their metabolic activities.
What are the major contributors towards the turbidity of water?
1. Algae. 2. Dead Organic Matter (from algae, plants, bacteria etc). 3. Silt & Sediment from shoreline erosion.
