Points The three families of algaes are:. A.Green‚ Red‚ Grey B.Green‚ yellow‚ brown C.Green‚ red‚ brown D.Mangroves‚ red‚ brown Answer Key: C Feedback: Green algaes are both microscopic (phytoplankton) and macroscopic like sea lettuce. Red algaes are mostly macroscopic but there are a few species of red phytoplankton. Brown algaes are all macroscopic and are the largest and grow in deeper water like the giant kelps which are the largest plants on Earth. Some kelps can be up to a mile long!. Question

As a fossil fuel‚ natural gas is formed from the decaying remains of pre-historic plant and animal life. As with petroleum‚ most natural gas formation is due to the breakdown of prehistoric marine zooplankton. Zooplankton subsist on a diet of phytoplankton‚ which‚ in turn‚ rely upon the energy of the sun to produce organic matter and energy through photosynthesis. • Once a potential natural gas deposit has been located by a team of exploration geologists and geophysicists‚ it is up to a team of

Water pollution is the contamination of water bodies (e.g. lakes‚ rivers‚ oceans and groundwater). Water pollution occurs when pollutants are discharged directly or indirectly into water bodies without adequate treatment to remove harmful compounds. Water pollution affects plants and organisms living in these bodies of water; and‚ in almost all cases the effect is damaging not only to individual species and populations‚ but also to the natural biological communities.

In The Truth about Ocean “Acidification”‚ by Patrick Moore‚ the term “ocean acidification” has been fabricated‚ and people do not see the positive effects it has on marine life. In 2003‚ many articles on ocean acidification were published. Moore challenges one of the article’s hypothesis that corals will cease to grow by mid-century‚ and ocean acidification will impact fisheries worldwide. Moore emphasizes that there are five key reasons why the ocean acidification narrative is a fabrication. First

Our ecosystem relies on the basis of food chains. Food webs work through a series of food chains that link together. Invasive species are a part of our food web. Invasive species pose a great threat to the habitat of the existing native organisms. They can cause major disruptions to the existing habitats and so it is important to be able to stop their damage. Invasive species can be found in many different habitats including land and water. If the population of a given habitat increases‚ then there

Ironically‚ the poison might also be a powerful new antibiotic--though that’s not what Teddy has in mind. Is Manhattan ready for this (seemingly unstoppable) airborne killer? Creepy stuff.
