As of my last knowledge update in October 2023, specific ratios of floating algae to seafloor algae can vary significantly by region and environmental conditions. Generally, floating algae, such as phytoplankton, typically dominate in open ocean areas, while seafloor algae, like macroalgae, are more prevalent in coastal regions. The exact ratio can be influenced by factors such as nutrient availability, water temperature, and light penetration. For precise current ratios, specific research studies or monitoring data would be necessary.

Cyanobacteria are thought to be ancestors of?

What are the oldest ancestors of plants?
Probably the green algae, which descended from cyanobacteria. Seaweeds come in three colours, green, brown and red, and each has different photosynthetic mechanisms - not only chlorophyll. The intertidal zone may have played an important part in the colonization of the land from aquatic plants.
Why do biologists think that ancient green algae were the ancestors of todays plants?
Biologists believe ancient green algae were the ancestors of today's plants because they share similar characteristics, such as photosynthetic pigments and cell wall composition. Fossil evidence also supports the evolutionary link between green algae and plants. Additionally, genetic studies have revealed a close relationship between the two groups.
What would a forecaster determining the climate of an area find most helpful?
A forecaster would today's atmospheric pressure as well as how much phostal-chancalacidic bitominnitiaite is floating in the air.
How did plants move from water to land?
Plants moved onto land after algae was entrapped in evaporating ponds, and cast up to the sea shore, and as a majority died, a few survived to be the plants we see on land today.
What colonial algae is studied today?
Volvox
Is it true that a ratio is a rate?
No. It can be but need not be. For example, you might calculate the ratio of today's temperature in Celsius and in Fahrenheit and calculate the ratio. That is not a rate.
From what did the first plant evolve?
The First Plants evolved From Blue-Green Algae
What role did seafloor spreading play in arranging the continents as they are today?
Seafloor spreading is the process by which new oceanic crust is created through volcanic activity at mid-ocean ridges. As this new crust forms, it pushes the existing crust apart, which in turn causes the continents to move. This movement of the tectonic plates, driven by seafloor spreading, plays a significant role in shaping the arrangement of continents as they are today through the theory of plate tectonics.
Which characteristic does a plant today probably share with its algae ancestors?
The same form of chlorophyll.Chlorophyll
What is a method to map the oceans?
Mapping the Ocean Floor with Echo Sounding is the key method scientists use to map the seafloor today
Why do animals depend on algae?
algae is the reason why the world is as it is. The first form of life was algae, they took in carbon dioxide and turned it into the oxygen we still breathe today. As oxygen entered our atmosphere animal life began and so without it we wouldn't be around. Even today it gives us the essential oxygen vital to us and other animals.
How many species of algae are there?
No one really knows. Estimates vary widely. The UK Biodiversity Steering Group Report estimated there to be 20,000 algal species in the UK.Most authorities place the known number of species between 5,000 and 20,000.
Why do biologist think that ancient green algae were ancestors of today's plants?
They believe that because their basic cellular composition remains similar to the plants today
Why did the Romans build a floating bridge?
Floating bridges are quicker and easier to set up than a permanent structure, especially on wider rivers. This makes them ideal for what they were used for: military operations, just as they are today.
Why are today's modern ships are considered floating cities?
because they are so fraking large (some ships go for a kilometere)
What is ratio of people to animals today?
Pretty close to 0. The ratio of people to just ants is estimated to be around 7 in ten million. Add in all the other insect species and you are talking a very, very small ratio.
