Describe the characteristics of algae. • Algae: members of protist kingdom classified by color • Algae form the base of the aquatic food chain as phytoplankton • Algae produces much of the Earth’s oxygen • Algal blooms (masses of algae) may indicate increase in wastes in water, deplete water of nutrients • Uses of algae: medications for ulcers, high blood pressure, arthritis, foods such as sushi wrappings, ice cream, salad dressing, syrup
Describe the types of algae. • Euglenophyta: Example euglena • Has traits of plants: cell wall & chlorophyll • Has traits of animals: move with flagella, respond to light with eyespot
Types of algae. • Phylum dinoflagellata: Dinoflagellates • Have two or more flagella • Several produce toxins when they bloom • Causes red tides: these blooms kill fish
Types of algae • Phylum Bacillariophyta: Diatoms • Marine autotrophs eaten by many other marine animals • Have glassy shells, harvested to use in abrasive cleaners, was used for toothpaste • Store oils giving fish a strong “fishy” taste when they eat them
Types of algae • Phylum Rhodophyta: red algae • Marine seaweed • Attach to rocks at bottom of ocean • Phylum Phaeophyta: brown algae • Most are marine • Commonly called kelp • Grown in kelp “beds” providing shelter for fish
Types of algae • Phylum Chlorophyta: Green algae • Contain chloroplasts which are filled with chlorophyll • Undergo photosynthesis • Usually found in freshwater near the surface • Some have special adaptations for floating called air bladders • Wide variety of forms: filaments, sheets, spherical, and colonies
Quiz 6 • Which algae type is commonly called kelp? a. brown b. green. c. red • Which algae have chlorophyll and are usually found in freshwater? a. brown b. green c. red • Which algae have glassy shells and no flagella? a. brown b. diatoms c. dinoflagellates • Which algae produce toxins when they bloom causing red tides? a. diatoms b. dinoflagellates c. red • How are algae classified? a. shape b. pigment c. movement
