BIOL 467 Study Guide - Final Guide: Time Point, Unicellular Organism, Mixotroph
Document Summary
Characteristics of the bloom-crash of chlamydomonas reinhardtii in different types of cultures. Unicellular green algae forms in fresh water. Phytoplanktons autotrophic components in aquatic ecosystems (ocean but mostly freshwater) Mostly eukaryotes but also including prokaryotes such as cyanobacteria. Primary producers- fixing most co2 and producing most o2 at a global level. Many species of phytoplankton undergo an annual cycle of bloom and crash. Many species undergo annual cycles of bloom and crash. Yearly phtyoplanks are unicellular algae and they should just grow. In nature we found in many spaces they have growth cycle just like flowering plants they got increase in population in spring and then decreases. What are the biochemical changes in cells during culture crash. Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is endogenous unicellular green alga to fresh water. Synchronized culture of c. reinhardtii dies very fast without dilution. The color of the culture changes from green to yellow during the crash.
