Textbook Question
Chapter 14, Problem 2AAATB
Imagine you have found an organism that has never been described by science. The organism, made up of several hundred cells, feeds by anchoring itself to a submerged rock and straining single-celled algae out of pond water. What kingdom would this organism probably belong to, and why do you think so?

Which of the following is NOT one of the roles of algae in nature?
O a. Petroleum is the fossil remains of planktonic algae.
O b. Algae are the primary producers in the aquatic food chain.
O c. Planktonic algae produces carbon dioxide as by-product of their
