Directions:
1. 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 that are super tiny in size. They are pretty much like photosynthetic micro-organisms, some live simple or branched and others are filamentous and others are in a gelatinous envelope or tube. All diatoms are enclosed by something that is called frustule, which is made up of 2 valves that are fitted together by a girdle, which is a connective zone.

they are both found in salt water and sometimes fresh water they could be found also. But both are a type of phytoplankton And they both play important roles in marine food webbing
They also help remove carbon dioxide from air

Dinoflagellates are unicellular protists;
They’re planktonic.
90% of all dinoflagellates are marine plankton. They are very small as well. many of them are microscopic, the largest of them all may be as large as 2 mm in diameter! At it’s largest size.
Dinoflagellates sby 2 things, flagella and movable protein strands that propel the cell through the water. The longitudinal flagellum extends out from the sulcal groove of the hypotheca when it snaps back and forth it moves the cell forward. The flattened flagellum lies in the cingulum, the groove that expands around the equator of the cell. The motion of this provides maneuvering and forward movement. The result of this is the action of the two flagella the cell spirals as it moves.

Use your chart to start making a deduction about the cause of the food poisoning.

    A single celled organism, such as an Amoeba, has a short life because of the heavy work load and exposure to elements on all four of its sides. An Amoeba operates on one cell, so it is a lot of work and cannot get very big with just one cell. Any injury to the cell can result in immediate death to the fragile organism. Yet, it is still a life because it IS a cell, and grows, can split in half and make a new amoeba, responds to the environment, uses energy to grow and can also adapt to their environments by living in both soil and water. They use their body to surround food and “eat” it. Some amoebas have learned to cover themselves in grains of sand to protect their small bodies. Trees, cats, and single cell organisms all need oxygen, have cells, grow and reproduce, respond to stimuli, use energy, and adapt to environment so they are all living things.…

    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 whorls and spines. Some are microscopic and others can grow as big as caviar.…

    Protists are a very large, diverse group of organisms, including the plant-like protists (algae), fungi-like protists, and the animal-like protists (protozoans). They are all eukaryotic, and most are unicellular. Traditional taxonomy of protists (Kingdom Protista) did not accurately represent evolutionary relationships, so the classification of this group is unsettled. Modern taxonomy has rearranged the group formerly known as Kingdom Protista, separating the different types of organisms into their own candidate Kingdoms.…

    One member of the zooplankton family is the foraminifera. It lives within the photic zone because some have dinoflagellates that perform photosynthesis. The foraminifera is found floating through the ocean, and there are actually many different species of foraminifera, some even reside on the sea floor. The foraminifera grows by creating more space in their limestone shells. They’re only about the size of one grain of sand. The foraminifera can obtain energy by expanding its gooey arms out of the limestone encasing to trap smaller organisms.…
