OCB 1000 Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: Halophyte, Zoospore, Sporophyte
Document Summary
Mangroves shrubs and trees that live along the seashores in tropical and subtropical regions and endure inundation by seawater. Phycocolloid one of the several starch like chemicals found in some seaweeds. Pollen the structure that produces the male gamete in flowering plants. Seagrasses grass like flowering plants that are adapted to life at sea. Sporophyte the diploid spore producing generation in many seaweeds. Zoospore a spore provided with one or more flagella. A raw material needed by an autotroph to produce organic matter. A tiny cell structure that carries out a specific function within the cell. Collectively, autotrophs make up the trophic level of an ecosystem that ultimately supports all other levels. The amount of light energy converted to chemical energy (organic compounds) by autotrophs in an ecosystem during a given time period. Protein a large group complex nitrogen containing organic molecules that play many crucial roles in organisms.
