Kingdom Monera
Kingdom Monera is what two categories?
What are Bacteria and Archaea?
The other name for Zooplankton
What are protozoans?
Colors in an algae originate from what source?
What are pigments?
Name of the "leaf" portion of a multicellular protist.
What is a blade?
Name the kingdom that behaves like bacteria by decomposing dead material.
What is Kingdom Fungi?
No nucleus within the cells or membrane-bound organelles
What are prokaryotes?
Four movement classifications for Zooplankton.
Protozoans with Pseudopods
Protozoans with Cilia
Protozoans with Flagella
Protozoans that are Parasites
Described as an overpopulation of algae that can release toxins in the water and remove oxygen.
Name the anchor portion of a multicellular protist.
What is the holdfast?
True or False. Kingdom Fungi are eukaryotic and multicellular.
TRUE
Most bacteria are ______________ and cannot make their own food. They feed on dead organic material.
_____________ zooplankton that resembles an amoeba with a shell of calcium carbonate - often called a test. The ooze created the White Cliffs Dover.
What are Foraminiferans?
Unicellular protists with glasslike cell walls.Some float near the surface of lakes or oceans while others attach to objects like rocks in shallow water. Food source for heterotrophs and when they die their cell walls collect on the bottom of oceans and lakes and form layers over time of a coarse substance called diatomaceous earth.
Diatoms
Gas-filled bladders that help blades float in the water to gain maximum exposure to the sun.
What are pneumatocysts?
TRUE or FALSE. Seagrass leaves provide shelter and food for many animals and help hold the sandy ocean bottom in place.
TRUE
Most commonly called blue-green algae because they are an algae-like group of photosynthetic bacteria. NOT a true algae because it is a prokaryote (algae are a different kingdom)
Plankton in larval stages of organisms that can swim against the currents once they are mature (once they mature they are no longer plankton).
What is meroplankton?
Phytoplankton that is unicellular, live in fresh and salt water, and can create toxic blooms.
Name the substance in the cell wall of brown algae that binds foods together. For example ice cream pudding, salad dressing...
What is algin?
Saltwater marsh plants that have special glands in their leaves to remove excess salts from their cells
What are cordgrasses?
The two methods autotrophic bacteria use for food production
What are photosynthesis and chemosynthesis?
This type of protists spend their entire lives as plankton.
What is Holoplankton?
Unicellular algae surrounded by stiff plates that look like a suit of armor. Many glow in the dark and can light up the ocean surrounding it (bioluminescence)
What are Dinoflagellates?
Type of seaweed that forms the dense forest beneath the surface of the ocean.
What is kelp?
Saltwater marsh plants that provide protection against beach erosion, form dense forests along shores and can grow as big as a shrub or tree.
What are mangroves?
