Yes, certain species of Rhodophyta, commonly known as red algae, can produce saxitoxin, a potent neurotoxin. This is particularly observed in specific red algal species that can accumulate toxins from their environment, especially in areas affected by harmful algal blooms. Saxitoxin is primarily associated with the dinoflagellates responsible for red tides, but some red algae can also play a role in the transfer of these toxins through the food web.
What else can I help you with?
What is saxitoxin?
Saxitoxin is a neurotoxin that is naturally produced by certain species of marine dinoflagellates and cyanobacteria.
What is red tide its causes and effects?
Seawater that is discoloured by large numbers of certain dinoflagellates that produce saxitoxin. I don't know the effects.
What pigments give the phaeophta and rhodophyta their characteristic colour?
Phaeophyta- Fucoxanthin Rhodophyta- Phycoerythrin or Phycobilin
What is saxitoxin's boiling point?
the boiling point for saxitoxin is 358 degrees. this test was carried out at the marine training and scientific centre in Bangkok Thailand. under pf kim rat bat.
What does rhodophyta eat?
Rhodophyta, commonly known as red algae, obtain nutrients primarily through photosynthesis. They contain chlorophyll and other pigments that enable them to absorb sunlight and convert it into energy. Some species may also absorb nutrients from their surroundings, such as dissolved minerals in water.
Scientific name of red algae?
rhodophyta
Which item is NOT associated with the phylum Rhodophyta?
algin
What are the only multicellular protists?
The seaweed types like chlorophyta and rhodophyta.
Where did life on earth evolve from?
Probably photosynthetic multicellular protists, such as Rhodophyta and Chlorophyta.
What are the scientific classifications of seaweed?
Most algae, or seaweed contains a chloroplast that is similar to cyanobacteria. Chloroplasts are made up of circular DNA similar to those in cyanobacteria and represent reduced endosymbiotic cyanobacteria.
The seaweed known as red algae is found in what and prefers what?
B) Phylum Rhodophyta, warmer water
Is protista singled cell?
Most protista are unicellular, but not all are. Google Chlorophyta and Rhodophyta for examples of multicelled protista.
