Irish moss, also known as carrageen moss, adapts to its environment by attaching firmly to rocks or other surfaces in intertidal zones. It can withstand exposure to air during low tide by retaining water in its gelatinous structure, which helps prevent desiccation. This algae has evolved these adaptations to survive in the harsh conditions of rocky shorelines along the Atlantic coast of Europe and North America.
The spruce fir moss spider primarily feeds on small insects and other invertebrates found in its habitat, such as springtails and mites. It uses its silk to construct webs and trap its prey within the moss and leaf litter of the spruce-fir forests where it lives.
Chondrus crispus( Irish moss) undergoes an alternation of generation life cycle common in many species of algae . There are two distinct stages: the sexual haploid gametophyte stage and the asexual diploid sporophyte stage. In addition there is a third stage- the carposporophyte, which is formed on the female gametophyte after fertilization. The male and female gametophytes produce gametes which fuse to form a diploid carposporophyte, which forms carpospores, which develops into the sporophyte. The sporophyte then undergoes meiosis to produce haploid tetraspores (which can be male or female) that develop into gametophytes. The three stages (male, female and sporophyte) are difficult to distinguish when they are not fertile; however, the gametophytes often show a blue iridescence
Moss does not actually eat anything, they utilise photosynthesis which converts sunlight energy as well as carbon dioxide into water, oxygen and glucose. The glucose is then used in a technique called respiration which breaks down the glucose or sugar into ATP molecules which then give the plant or moss energy to grow.
