Algae and Phycology

Mahal ko si cornelio i love you sana mahalin mo rin ako yan ang sagot ko!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Examples of unicellular algae include Chlorella, Euglena, and Diatoms. These algae consist of a single cell that performs all necessary functions for survival. Unicellular algae are commonly found in water bodies and play a crucial role in the aquatic ecosystem.

Coralline algae primarily obtain energy through photosynthesis, using sunlight to make their own food. They extract nutrients from the surrounding seawater, including calcium and other minerals. They do not "eat" in the same way animals do but instead have specialized structures that allow them to absorb these nutrients for growth and survival.

No.

Although cyanobacteria do not have chloroplasts, they do have thylakoid membrane, where photosynthesis occur.

Algae benefit aquatic turtles by providing a food source as turtles may eat algae. Algae can also provide shelter for turtle hatchlings or smaller turtles. Additionally, algae can help keep the water clean by absorbing excess nutrients.

It floats on top of the water, so it can have sunlight. The green is the chlorophyll that helps to turn sunlight into food. It also has lysosomes that can expel water from the cell to keep it from bursting.

Algae float on the top of water and use photosynthesis. They all are producers and create glucose and oxygen.

Algae can release oxygen and take up carbon dioxide that permeates cells.

Algae is a plant, and wants to grow in your pool for the same reason it grows in ponds, lakes, streams and oceans. Water is it's natural habitat. Although in its simplest form, algae is not a health issue, it will lead to potential problems when it start attracting mosquitos, bacteria, etc. So the trick is to prevent it in the first place, or get rid of it as soon as you see it. Adequate (but not too much) chlorine will generally prevent algae growth, with some exceptions. One of those exceptions is the presence of high levels of phosphates. Phosphates are biologicals such as skin cells, decomposition of leaves, dirt or fertilizer blowing into pool, etc. This becomes food for the algae and allows the algae to fight off the killing power of chlorine. The advise below is assuming you have just a small bit of algae: Shock the pool with chlorine. Brush the algae off the walls and floor as best you can. Run your filter 24 hours. Brush the pool again to remove any algae missed the day before. Run your filter another 24 hours. Thoroughly clean your filters. Use chlorine neutralizer to bring chlorine level blow 5 ppm before swimming.

Have your water tested for phosphates. Treat if levels are between 250 ppb and 2000 ppb. Higher levels will require partial draining. Your local pool store can give you additional advise on shock, phosphates and tell you if it is safe to partially drain a pool in your location. Never totally drain your pool unless you know the geological stability of the ground below your pool.

Algae thrive in warm temperatures (around 75-85°F) with plenty of sunlight and nutrients available. They also require still or slow-moving water with a slightly basic pH level for optimal growth. Too much heat or cold, excessive sunlight, or imbalanced nutrients can inhibit algae growth.

Algae are part of the Kingdom Protista, along with other unicellular organisms like amoebas and paramecia. Algae are photosynthetic organisms that can be unicellular, multicellular, or colonial in structure.

red algae

red algae contain a pigment r-phycoerythrin which absorbs blue light and reflects red light.

blue light can penetrate deeper parts of sea than other lights of higher wavelengths.

hence we find red algae in deep sea oceans

Yes, blue-green algae, also known as cyanobacteria, do have a nucleus. However, their genetic material is not enclosed in a membrane-bound nucleus like in eukaryotic cells; instead, it is located in a region of the cell called the nucleoid.

Green algae lack a cuticle, which is a waxy layer on the outside of plants, because they live in aquatic environments where it is not necessary for them to conserve water or protect against desiccation. The lack of a cuticle allows for easier nutrient exchange with the surrounding water.

There are many different animals that eat algae. A few of these are frogs, aquatic insects and fish. These water animals would not be able to survive without algae.

Yes, however, algae lack a vascular system that makes most plants tall, upright, and rigid.

Distinguishing algae from protists is like distinguishing beagles from dogs. Brown algae (Phaeophyta), red alge (Rhodophyta), and green algae (Chlorophyta) are all diverse "sub-groups" of the much larger group of Protista.

Energy rich lipids, a waste product from algae is being looked into as a new source of fuel after fermentation into lactic acid.

Yellow algae in aquariums is typically caused by excess nutrients in the water, such as nitrates and phosphates. These nutrients can be introduced through overfeeding, decaying organic matter, or poor water quality. Ensuring proper maintenance, water changes, and nutrient levels can help prevent yellow algae growth.

Yes they does!
