Green Algae Green Algae is a microscopic protist, invisible to the human eye, that has an immense impact on both humans and the ecology in its natural environment. Green Algae is mostly found in fresh water and there are approximately 6,000 species within the family of green algae with almost all of them having chloroplasts. All Green Algae are photosynthetic organisms and thus produce oxygen from CO2. Photosynthesis removes CO2 from the atmosphere and replaces it with oxy-gen, which is a contribution

BIO 1020 – Fall 2012 Laboratory 1: Bacteria and Protists pp. 1-29 You will be required to identify all of these organisms by kingdom and phylum/division (phylum = animal, division = plant). If a genus name (italics) is given on this handout, you will be responsible for that as well. You must know all of the structures and terminology listed below. Due to the ever-changing nature of biology, the nomenclature used in lab may differ from that used in lecture. A labeled drawing and short written

seen a bright green plant that made the aquarium look very pretty? Don’t let this plants pretty color fool you; it is an invasive species in the wrong habitat. An invasive species is essentially an invasion altogether. In terms of ecology an invasive species is when either a plant or animal is introduced to a different area from their natural habitat and cause environmental or economical harm. Giving this definition I will discuss Caulerpa Taxifolia. Caulerpa Taxifolia is a macro algae invader that

Green Technologies Green technology, also known as environmental or clean technology, minimizes impacts on the environment and natural resources. It’s based on concepts such as conserving water and energy, reducing waste and pollution, harnessing renewable energy sources, finding ways to reuse materials, and developing less polluting technologies. Green technology is everywhere these days; in the news, politics, fashion, and of course technology. Green Technology is becoming so widespread

(8) Many experts today believe that bio-fuel production causes more problems than it solves. Describe the main reasoning behind this view. · Bio-fuel production causes loss of tropical forest and other natural habitats, depletes oil, accelerates climate change, and exacerbates world hunger. · To grow biofuel crops, there needs to be cutting and burning of forests · You need burning of oil based fuel and use of petroleum based fertilizers to grow biofuel crops which leads to less

efforts to execute the plan and continue to grow? Answer: They can truly execute the three-point plan because it can be one of the most competitive player in the market. Some factors to consider to make this plan work is that Aquaflow must use wild algae to help clean up water. They should also try to cultivate mono-cultures or a small number of species although its quit expensive, hard to scale and has significant technical risk. Aquaflow must look to partner in where the ‘fuel’ is a byproduct of
