This term means "first animals"
What is protozoa?
They are the primary all-photosynthetic organisms in aquatic environments
What is Algae?
Type of processing that algal products are used in
What is food processing?
Phylum that all move by flagella, are all unicellular, and their nutrition are all heterotrophs. Contains Trypanosoma and Giardia lambia.
What is Phylum Zoomastigina?
Phylum that is unicellular with 2 flagella, multi-sided latest of cellulose that make up the cell walls, and responsible for the red tide
What is Dinoflagellata?
This term is the slowed metabolism and formation of a hard outer covering
What is cyst?
What percentage is all the oxygen- producing photosynthesis occurs in the ocean
What is 70%?
The term if an algal colony is attached to something
What is sessile?
Part of Zoomastigina that causes African Sleeping Sickness and is spread by the tsetse fly which only lives in Africa
What is Trypanosoma?
Phylum that is unicellular and formerly classified as a protozoa
What is Euglenophyta?
The term that is a change in speed or direction of movement in response to stimulus
What is taxis?
What do large animals such as whales and sharks strain from the water for food
What is Plankton?
The special cells that anchor the algae to something and appear rootlike
What is Holdfast?
Phylum that is constantly changing their shape and and their type of movement is ameboid movement, which is when cytoplasmic streaming causes formation of pseudopods.
What is Phylum Sarcondina?
Phylum that is the main oxygen producers in the ocean, forms the base of the ocean's food chain as phytoplankton, and cell walls made of silica
What is Bacillariophyta?
The term that is the flexible but firm protein-rich outer covering of Paramecium
What is Pellicle?
What are tiny floating photosynthetic organism, that are predominantly algae
What is Phytoplankton?
Type of process that includes "farming of the ocean, ponds, lakes" and is food for people and fish
What is aquaculture?
Phylum that has locomotion, all form spores sometime in their life cycle, and nutrition. All organisms in this protozoan phylum are parasites
What is Phylum Sporozoa?
Phylum that is multicellular and marine, usually live in cooler waters, contain chlorophyll a and c and a large amount of fucoxanthin
What is Phaeophyta?
The term that is the sexual reproduction in which two paramecium attach to each other at their oral surfaces and exchange genetic material through a cytoplasmic bridge, then divide into four paramecium
What is conjugation?
What are floating protozoans or animals that eat the phytoplankton?
What is Zooplankton?
The simple colony of a slender chain of cells growing end to end - examples: branching
What is Filament
Phylum that all have multiple hairlike structures that either move food to the protozoan or move the protozoan itself; tend to be large in size compared to most protozoans.
What is Phylum Ciliophora?
Phylum that stores food as oil, contains chlorophyll a and b which have large amounts of carotenoids
What is Chrysophyta?
