1
Marine Life Phytoplankton
2
Six Kingdoms Archaebacteria—blue green algae or cyanobacteria
Eubacteria—true bacteria Protista Fungi Plants Animalia
3
Kingdom Phylum-----divisions Class Order Family Genus Species
4
Bacteria Heterotrophic—most are decomposers
Autotrophic---photosynthetic or chemosynthetic No organelles Represent the smallest living organisms on earth Reproduce rapidly (about twice an hour)
5
Prokaryotic producers
Cyanobacteria---blue green algae Can tolerate a huge change in salinity and temperature Some of these are nitrogen fixers
6
Protists Three types Plant like Animal like Fungus like
7
Plant like Diatoms Dinoflagellates Silicoflagellates
There are more but we discuss these
8
Diatoms Eukaryotic Photosynthesize Reproduce sexually or asexual
12,000 species They have silica shells called frustules Called golden brown algae from the pigment carotenoid
9
Diatom reproduction Sexual asexual
10
dinoflegellates They have flagella They spin Unicellular
They have a primitive eyespot—sense light They can be seen in the light Cause algal blooms—red tide
11
Red tides
12
bioluminescence Produce light--
13
silicoflagellates Star shaped Have silica in their cell walls flagella
14
protozoans Animal like protists Euglena Amoeba paramecium
15
foraminiferans Phylum forminfera Mostly marine
Shells of calcium carbonate Psuedopods can retract
16
foraminiferans Phylum radiolarians Round elaborate shells
Made of silica Rotating spines
17
foraminiferans Phylum ciliophora
18
seaweeds Green—division chlorophyta Brown—division phaeophyta
Red—division rhodophyta
19
Seaweed structure
20
Chlorophyta Sea lettuce
21
Phaeophyta Padina Fucus spiralis kelp
22
Rhodophyta Porphyra corallina
23
Flowering plants Division anthophyta
24
Mangroves
25
Seagrass
26
Salt marsh
27
Kingdom Fungi
28
Lichens
