Taxonomy&Producers

Taxonomy and Producers

BacteriaInfo
Phylum Anthrophyta -Submergent plants *lives entirely underwater *seagrasses -Emergent Plants *roots underwater; rest of plant above water *mangrove trees
BOTH Submergent and Emergent plants -contribute food to ocean's biosphere -produce oxygen - provide habitats for organisms - must adapt to salinity in water
Cyanobacteria= blue-green algae -major producers -aquatic & unicelluar -photosynthetic -prokaryotic cells *no true nucleus
Phylum Phaeophyta= brown algae *Holdfast- anchors the plants *blades (like leaves) *Pneumatocyst: gas-filled bladders *ex: kelp (largest type) *ex: Sargassum (huge drifting rafts of brown algae)
Phylum Rhodophyta= red algae *important to coral reefs because it helps cement the reef together *Phycoerythrins- red pigment which allows red algae to live deeper in the water
Phylum Chlorophyta= green algae *Chlorophyll a- absorbs different colors of light and used for photosynthesis *Chlorophyll b- helps to capture light -cell walls made of cellulose -ex: sea lettuce
Phylum Dinophyta= dinoflagellates *use flagella to swim *cause of toxic red tide *2nd most productive group of primary producers
Bioluminescence *the production and emission of light by a living organism as the result of a chemical reaction during which chemical energy *Found in the phylum dinophyta (pyrrophyta) *90% of deep-sea marine life is estimated to produce bioluminescence in one form or
Phylum Chrysophyta (Bacillariophyta)= diatoms *most productive phytoplankton *cell walls made of silica *Diatomic Blooms- sudden increase of diatoms *Blooms usually happen in the summer when there is an increase in nutrients
Sargasso Sea -Nuestonic community-organisms that float on top of the water *drifting rafts of sargassum (brown algae) *found in the North Atlantic Ocean *a biotic factor of it is that it creates habitats for animals such as sea turtles and fish *Abiotic factors ar

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
