Consider plants that occupy the top, middle, or ground layer of a forest, and algae that live near the surface of the ocean or in deeper water. Would you expect the same photosynthetic pigments to be found in species that live in these different habitats? Why or why not? How would you test your hypothesis?

Consider plants that live in a forest's top, middle, or ground layer, as well as algae that live near the ocean's surface or in deep water. Would you expect the same photosynthetic pigments to be present in these different environments in the same species? Why do you think that is the case? What method would you use to test your hypothesis?
You are diving off the coast of an island. Since you are a very good diver, you can go quite deep. Once you stop descending, you look around at the life forms. You notice what you think is an algae. Knowing what you know about algae and their ability to undergo photosynthesis, what phylum of algae are you most likely looking at? -Phylum Bacillariophyta -Phylum Chlorophyta -Phylum Phaeophyta -Phylum Chrysophyta -Phylum Rhodophyta
Coral reefs are unique, living structures. Even though they appear to be hard, rock-like structures, the soft-bodied coral animals that build the elaborate, hard, rock-like reef structures around themselves live inside. Corals are unique animals because they have photosynthetic algae that live inside their cells. This unique relationship is beneficial to the algae since it has a safe place to live inside the coral cells, and it is beneficial to the coral since the algae are producing food via photosynthesis. From the description above, what type of symbiosis is described, and at what ecological level does this relationship exist? The relationship is an example of parasitism, and it exists at the community level. The relationship is an example of mutualism, and it exists at the community level. The relationship is an example of commensalism, and it exists at the community level. The relationship is an example of mutualism, and it exists at the…

"Watermelon snow" in Antarctica is caused by a species of photosynthetic green algae that thrives in subzero temperatures (Chlamydomonas nivalis). These algae are also found in high altitude in year-round snowfields. In both locations, UV light levels tend to be high. The reddish-pink color of these algae is due to the presence of carotenoid pigments, which absorb blue light while reflecting red light. Those pigments protect the chloroplast from ultraviolet radiation, as well as absorbing heat, which provides the algae with liquid water as the snow melts around it. This molecular variation in plants illustrates a relative fitness because the molecular adaptations in chlorophyll pigments have passed to the next generation b innate variability because plants have evolved molecular differences to an environmental stimuli c unselective adaptation because plants have evolved molecular differences to adapt to different wavelengths of light d inclusive…
Plants in Clade Streptophyta and the green algae share a number of common traits, except for which choice? -both have cellulose in their cell walls. -both are multicellular -both are autotrophic. -both have apical meristems -both have chlorophyll a and b.
A botanist has been examining three plants, measuring the amount of acid in their cells, and examining sections of their leaves under the microscope. Numbers in the table are in relative units. Part A: Identify the kind of photosynthesis being done by each plant. Explain how enzymes contribute to this data. Part B: Decipher the origin of each plant if one is from the Mojave Desert, one is from a sand dune in Florida, and one is from Minnesota, and explain how you deciphered this.
Yeasts are a type of fungi. As heterotrophs, yeasts obtain energy by consuming organic substances, whereas autotrophs like plants produce their own energy through photosynthesis. How does this distinction affect the way yeasts obtain energy? Yeasts produce energy through photosynthesis. Yeasts acquire energy by consuming organisms different from themselves Yeasts break down organic substances for energy. Yeasts produce energy by consuming light.
Sharks and bony fish are classified within the phytoplankton because they are often found in the well- surface areas of the ocean .
Persimmons are photosynthetic autotrophs that produce flowers with four petals. Which of the following revised models best predicts the evolutionary relationship between persimmons and the other species of photosynthetic autotrophs? Banana Persimmon Onion Lemon Radish Seaweed A Banana Onion Lemon Radish Persimmon Seaweed Banana Onion Lemon Radish Seaweed Persimmon Banana Onion Lemon Radish Seaweed Persimmon B.
The term "dominant generation" refers to: two diploid life stages alternating with each other, one of which is long-lived and cabaple of photosynthesis one multicellular life stage alternating with one unicellular life stage that is large and photosynthetic two multicellular life stages alternating with each other one multicellular stage that is long-lived and capable of photosynthesis
Imagine a sealed terrarium containing a plant and a beetle. How does each organism provide resources for the other? Could each organism survive if it was the only living thing in the terrarium? Why or why not?
