Watch the video and read through the information on diatoms and dinoflagellates. 2. Type in the appropriate columns below the characteristics that apply to diatoms‚ dinoflagellates and the characteristics they share Characteristics of Diatoms Similarities Between Diatoms and Dinoflagellates Characteristics of Dinoflagellates Diatoms are single cellular eukaryotes

In her article‚ “A Tale of Two Flagella‚” Olivia Judson (2010) states that the dinoflagellate is considered a plant‚ animal‚ predator‚ and a parasite. A dinoflagellate is defined as a large group of single celled organisms that can be helpful and harmful. Dinoflagellates are very diverse in characteristics and abilities. For example‚ some dinoflagellates perform photosynthesis‚ some have eyes‚ and others capture and eat prey. A dinoflagellate can look like a small brown ball that is structured as

Aim: Observing pond water. Materials: Microscope‚ slide of pond water‚ protests/monera handouts. Procedure: 1. Collect microscope from trolley. 2. Set up microscope and switch on the microscope light. 3. Collect specimen and handouts. 4. Sketch 4-6 different species on medium power setting. 5. Try to estimate size of cells. Observations: I noticed that there was a lot of activity on the slide. There were many little circle-shaped things that were moving quickly all over the slide. I saw a

I am a bottlenose dolphin. I live in tropical waters worldwide. I am a resident dolphin along the coasts of Georgia‚ Florida‚ Texas‚ Southern California and gulf of California. I love to live in a Coastal zone because is the most productive and valuable ecosystem in the earth. Carbon absorption‚ oxygen production‚ habit for creatures and biodiversecity‚ are just a few of the services‚ Many people think that I am fish because of my shape‚ but I am mammal. Unlike fish‚ I breathe through lungs not

Water covers 70% of the world’s surface. Coral reefs only cover 1% of the ocean floor‚ yet they hold more than 25% of all marine life. They are considered the forests of the seas and are very important. But human activities have greatly impacted on coral reefs around the world. They must be used sustainably and taken care of so that our children and their children after them can use and enjoy them. Coral Reefs are important‚ not just to the environment‚ but to humans as well. Currently‚ around

Discoveries of sediment at Montara Beach This lab report is on the trip to Montara beach were we studied sediments on the coast line. In figure 1 it shows the location of Montara beach‚ which is located south of San Francisco near Pacifica. The purpose of the trip was to discover layers of sediment and understand the properties of them‚ like grain size‚ composite‚ organization and so forth. As shown in figure 2 you can see that Montara beach has quaternary sediment‚ meaning its sediment is younger

The Ocean matters. The coral reef is a home to more than 3‚000 species of fish‚ 700 species of hard coral and around 100 other species. Scientists say that there could be 1-8 million undercovered species. If not protected all these species have nowhere to go and the undiscovered species will likely not be discovered. We cannot let these species die a whole ecosystem will be lost. Ocean Conservancy was created in 1972‚ they offer 2‚300‚000 jobs to people. Over the 25 years the organization was

Overview Plankton is a microscopic drifting organism present in most of the water bodies around the world. There are three categories of plankton‚ but only Phytoplankton and Zooplankton are of our interest. Phytoplankton is the primary producer and forms the base of food chain in most water bodies. Among these phytoplankton groups‚ there are some species that harm aquatic organisms mechanically or by toxin production either at low concentrations or by forming high concentration blooms known as Harmful

The marine biome is one of the largest biomes on the earth. It spans three fourths of the earths surface. It includes all five oceans the Arctic‚ Indian‚ Southern‚ Atlantic‚ and Pacific. In it There are many many types of fish and also some mammals. The oceans span wide and deep. There are also plants in the ocean. The ocean is a vast and mysterious place where we are still discovering many things about it everyday. The physical attributes of the ocean depend on which ocean you explore‚for example

Bianca Barraza APES Per. 5 10-21-14 The Effects Of Dissolved Oxygen On Fish Background: The goldfish‚ or in other words the carassius auratus is a fish that has well-known by its bright gold color. Many goldfishes are able to absorb oxygen directly from the water into their bloodstream using their gills. Goldfishes and other marine life need dissolved oxygen‚ which is oxygen dissolved in water‚ and is necessary to many forms of life‚ including invertebrates‚ bacteria and plants. However‚ increased
