GreenRed

Brown

Converting chemicals into

food energy in the absence of sunlight

Chemosynthesis

Viruses are made of DNA or RNA surrounded by

this

protein coat (capsid)

Major ecological role of fungi

Decomposers

Bioluminescent bacteria produce

this for their mutualistic hosts

Light

Microbes, chemically different from bacteria, that

live in harsh environments

Archaeons

Another name for seaweeds

Multicellular macroalgae

Asexual reproduction where a piece of a seaweed breaks off an forms

into a separate organism

Fragmentation

Type of cyclical reproduction

commonly found in seaweeds

Alternating generations

Seaweeds that live longer than two

years

Perennials

According to most scientists, seaweeds are not true plants because they lack

this

Vascular tissues

Most diverse (6,000 species)

Red

Most of its species live in freshwater

environments

Green

Perennials

Brown

Help add calcium carbonate to build

coral reefs

Red

Used historically to prevent goiter

Brown

Segrasses do this to prevent a buildup

of epiphytes

Grows and sheds its leaves quickly

Seagrasses reproduce by this type of pollination

Water pollination

Seagrasses most closely compare to these freshwater

plants

Lillies

Term used to describe plants like seagrasses that live

their lives completely underwater

Hydrophytes

During the drought in the early 2000’s,

the place in the Chesapeake Bay where seagrasses

grew back the most

Middle

Three general ecological roles

shared by salt marsh plants with other marine flowering

plants

Food, habitat, and sediment

stabililzation

Climate in which salt marshes are

found

Temperate

These help salt marsh plants retain water

Succulent leaves, thick cuticle, and

salt glands

This ecological role played by salt

marshes helps keep algal bloom from

occurring

Biological filter

Salt marsh plants contribute to the food chain mostly

by this method

Adding to detritus (food for microbes)

Mangroves are know for these

unusual structures

Roots

Found in this climate

Tropical

Method of sexual reproduction

found in mangroves

Wind pollination

Ecological role played by mangrove

forests that is important in

maintaining marine animal populations

Nursery grounds

Types of roots that grow from high on

the trunk

Prop roots

Make your wager

Feeding style(s) found in amoeboid

protozoa

Heterotrophic
