Algae and Phycology

Multicellular algae is crucial to the atmosphere, as it actually produces the greatest percentage of oxygen in our atmosphere, compared to other photosynthetic organisms.

Algae and fungi posses characteristics that make them unique among all the organisms.

Algae are different from plants because they perform cell division in a very different way, their reproductive structures are completely nude, while in plants the reproductive structures are covered with a sterile layer of cells.

Fungi lack photosynthetic machinery, which differences them from algae, plants and some bacteria.

So, fungi and algae posses a wide range of characteristics that are enough to separate them from other kingdoms and have their own.

yes it can if the distilled water is left un covered and not kept sterle as it is made to not have any minerals in it and is not growth proof

The main structural difference between mosses and algae which allow moss to be more successful on land is that moss contains a semblence of leaves and are spongy when touched. Algae lacks any sort of leaves and spreads by clumping into a group contained of living cells.

Some helpful algae include diatoms, which are key producers in aquatic food chains, providing food for various organisms. Green algae play a crucial role in producing oxygen through photosynthesis and are also used as bioindicators for water quality. Additionally, brown algae like kelp provide important habitats for marine life and are commercially valuable for products like food and cosmetics.

Well, the type of chlorine used in swimming pools is a base. And when we are out of algae destroyer, we use bleach and/or baking soda which are both bases. So, I would conclude that algae destroyer is a base.

The linear quat algaecide that comes in the gallon jugs is a very dilute solution. The quart containers are typically 50% or 60% concentrate....so a gallon of 10% concentrate is roughly equal to adding 1/5 of a quart bottle of concentrate. The linear quats are safe to swim in almost immediately. However, linear quats do cause foaming. That's not a big issue, but many folks don't like that side effect. The better algaecide to use is 60% Polyquat. It comes in quart bottles, and the chemical name on the side of the bottle is a very long name...but it starts with the word "Poly". Polyquat is more effective, it doesn't foam, and it also acts as a clarifier. It generally costs about $20 for a quart bottle, and the cheapest I've found it is at lesliespool.com and intheswim.com

yes, I think so.

It has a defense mechanism called "metamario" which helps its body shut down if attacked.

Yes, algae play a crucial role in the ecosystem as they produce oxygen, serve as a food source for various organisms, and contribute to nutrient cycling. They also have potential applications in biofuel production and wastewater treatment.

Algae are primary producers in a food web, converting sunlight into energy through photosynthesis. They form the base of many aquatic ecosystems, serving as a food source for various organisms like zooplankton, small fish, and invertebrates. Algae also play a crucial role in oxygen production and nutrient cycling within the ecosystem.

The most important factor to inhibiting algae growth is the amount of free chlorine, not so much the other water balance factors (except temperature and pH). You could have alage on the boulders for the following reasons: 1) The amount of free chlorine in your pool is enough to inhibit growth of alage in your pool, but not in the different conditions on the boulder (see below). 2) The boulder and water flowing over it may be at a higher temperature, especially towards the bottom boulders, if they are exposed to the sun. Higher temperatures promote more algae growth that could outstrip the available free chlorine. 3) If the boulders are exposed to the sun, then this may be reducing the amount of available chlorine, especially if you do not use any conditioner (Cyanuric Acid). 4) The bubbling and aerating of water may convert much of the chlorine to gas via HOCl + Cl- --> Cl2(g) + OH- which is more likely in a salt pool due to the extra chloride ions from the salt to begin with. Do you notice a chlorine smell near the top boulders? 5) Areas near the edge of the water flow do not get enough continuous exposure to the pool water for the chlorine to kill the algae, but get enough water for algae to form. Also, if the water pools so that chlorine is released to the air faster than the pool is refilled with new water, this could promote algae growth. This is similar to poor circulation in a pool. As for what to do, the easiest thing is to treat your boulders with an extra "shock" of 5-10 ppm chlorine (which could be done when you shock your pool with liquid chlorine). Do NOT shock your pool with just the chlorine generator as this will not build up enough chlorine fast enough to kill some more aggressive algaes. Use liquid chlorine to shock your pool, or at least your boulders.

Green algae or Chlorophytes

Shock the pool with chlorine (your Pool shop will tell you how much to add). Run the filter constantly, cleaning as necessary, for a couple of days. Brush pool walls as well. Then install a salt water system and you won't get that algae coming back.

There are a wide variety of solutions when it comes to controlling algae in swimming pools. The best and most widely used method for controlling algae is by using chlorine.

Air fresheners do not contain the whole alga. The gel type air fresheners use carrageenan, a setting agent which is extracted from red algae. Carageenan is a chemical, not an organism. Think of it like this: table jelly (jello) is set with gelatin, which may be extracted from animal bones. The jelly doesn't have bits of bone or animals in it.

Algae and other plants make their own food from sunlight, so they are producers.

they are diatoms

The bacteria and blue green algae are exception of the cell theory because they are devoid of the true nucleus or well organized nucleus.

algae creates more than 75% of the worlds oxygen; without algae no it would be harder to breathe cause people to pretty much die because of the lack of oxygen
