Algae are chlorophyll containing organisms which occur in both marine and freshwater environments and can be unicellular or multi-cellular. Algae form the base of many food chains and are essential to marine life. However although algae are beneficial to aquatic life‚ the rapid multiplication of algae can form something commonly referred to as algal blooms. Algal blooms occur due to a number of factors. If there is a decrease in the number of grazers in the environment in which the algae are

Adwadawda Algae (/ˈældʒiː/ or /ˈælɡiː/; singular alga /ˈælɡə/‚ Latin for "seaweed") are a very large and diverse group of simple‚ typically autotrophic organisms‚ ranging from unicellular to multicellular forms‚ such as the giant kelps that grow to 65 meters in length. Most are photosynthetic like plants‚ and "simple" because they lack the many distinct cell and organ types found in land plants. The largest and most complex marine forms are called seaweeds. Though the prokaryotic cyanobacteria are

commonly known as red tide. This is a situation wherein algae reproduce easily because of the chemicals that flows through different bodies of water. Algal bloom is also connected in climate changes we encounter in this century. It’s either the algae reproduce easily by the climate or the algae are having hard times reproducing for the same reason. It can also be observed in aquariums. An experiment is given for the readers to know how algae reproduce by different situations. After reading this whole

Chopowick Rosalyne November 25‚ 2009 Coral reefs are considered to be the rainforest of the oceans and arguably the most beautiful habitat in the world. Coral reefs are underwater ecosystems where many species such as fish‚ marine plants‚ sponges‚ algae thrive on. As the text‚ Living in the Environment describes it: coral reefs “are among the world’s oldest‚ most diverse and most productive ecosystems” (Hackett‚ 132). Unfortunately‚ coral reefs are on the endangered list mainly due to human’s involvement

seen an increasing amount of algal blooms caused by an excess of nutrients‚ most notably nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P). Algae being “photosynthetic microorganisms that are found in most habitats” (SJRWMD‚ 2007) and algal blooms being defined as a “rapid increase in the density of algae in an aquatic system... [that is] increased by nutrient pollution” (SJRWMD‚ 2007). Algae blooms contribute to the continuing loss of marine life in the IRL‚ including fish‚ marine mammals‚ and mangroves. Among other

Snail Evolution Snails are tiny slimy creatures. Mainly recognized by their characteristic shells‚ weirdly strange ability to stick to anything‚ and their odd questionable ooze that they leave behind. There are many different types of snails ranging from tiny too large. The smallest snail is called Daphniola eptalophas. The largest snail species is called the Giant African Land Snail (ALGALS). The most know relative of the snail family is the slug. A snail without its shell is just
