ALGAE • Algae and blue-green algae are the oldest organisms on our planet • Autotrophic • Photosynthesis oxygen into the atmosphere • An eukaryotic type of a cell • The simplest plants • They mainly occur in water (freshwater, seawater), humid soil
ALGAE • They are an important part of food of aquatic animals • Some of them occur even on dry land (humid places) • a green cover on soil or bark • A diverse cell structure and a way of life • They differ in: ▫ Size ▫ Colour ▫ Body structure (a thallus)
ALGAE SIZE • microscopic • unicellular • multicellular up to 50 m COLOUR • green • red • brown THALLUS • unicellular • multicellular • fibrous
GREEN ALGAE • Predecessors of more developed plants • Seawater, freshwater and humid places • Some of them move thanks to flagellas
GREEN ALGAE • Chlorophyceae ▫ Unicellular ▫ Without a flagellum • Chlorophyta ▫ Unicellular ▫ Humid places
GREEN ALGAE • Euglena ▫ Unicellular ▫ Has a flagellum ▫ Mixotrophic (performs photosynthesis + accepts dissolved organic substances from the surroundings) • Volvox globator ▫ Unicellular ▫ Has a flagellum ▫ Makes colonies
Volvox globator • A colony of a volvox globator
Euglena • • A stigma Chloroplasts A nucleus A flagellum
MULTICELLULAR ALGAE • They are divided into several sections • They differ in: ▫ Thallus structure ▫ Way of reproduction ▫ Way of life
MULTICELLULAR ALGAE • They occur on rock coasts or freely in the sea: ▫ Brown algae ▫ Red algae • Some of them grow into big sizes • Usage : ▫ Feed ▫ Food ▫ Essences from algae are used for treatments
MULTICELLULAR ALGAE • • • The largest brown algae are: FUCUS (SEAWEED) In our country there occur these green fungi: SPIROGYRA (a spiral chloroplast) CLADOPHORA
MULTICELLULAR ALGAE – Thalli of sea algae visible just by an eye – red algae and seaweed
REVISION: • 1) Why are algae so important for us? • 2) Where do algae occur? • 3) The largest green algae are called: • 4) Which alga makes colonies?
