BIOL227 Algae Exam Questions and
Answers 100% Pass
What is Phycology? - ✔✔The study of Algae
What are the Five Kingdoms? - ✔✔Animals; Plants; Fungi; Protisa; Monera
What is meant by Kingdom? - ✔✔Animals are grouped based on if they
share a common ancestor and share characteristics (maybe from an
ancestor).
Groups should be monophyletic-A group with a common ancestor and all
its descendants.
What is a Protista? - ✔✔Protists are a very large, diverse group of
organisms, including the plant-like protists (algae), fungi-like protists, and
the animal-like protists (protozoans). They are all eukaryotic, and most are
unicellular. Traditional taxonomy of protists (Kingdom Protista) did not

,accurately represent evolutionary relationships, so the classification of this
group is unsettled. Modern taxonomy has rearranged the group formerly
known as Kingdom Protista, separating the different types of organisms
into their own candidate Kingdoms.
Protists vary in how they obtain energy (autotrophic or heterotrophic) and
in their locomotion.
What are Protista divided by? - ✔✔They are divided by locomotion mode.
And none are phototsynthetic
What are locomotion methods used by Protista? - ✔✔Flagellated; Ciliated;
Amoeboid movements (Pseudopodia)
What are the 3 domains of life? Which are prokayotic and eukaryotic? -
✔✔Bacteria-prokaryotic; Archaea-prokayotic; Eukaryota (fungi. (plants
animals etc..)
What are Archaea? - ✔✔Single celled organisms like bacteria which exist in
extreme environments (extremophiles)

,What does EuBacteria "true bacteria" do? - ✔✔*Live everywhere
*Eat everything
*Get energy in many different ways
*Also do oxygenic photosynthesis (cyanobacteria -"Blue-green algae:
Cyanophyta)
What are the important structural features of Oxygenic photosynthesis? -
✔✔*Membrane proteins- polarity
*Transmembrane gradient of protons
What is photosynthesis? - ✔✔Process of turning Electromagnetic radiation
to chemical energy
Uses:
*Photosystem I & II, Reaction center chlorophyll
*ALL oxygen-producing organisms have chlorophyll a
What are characters are Algae grouped by? - ✔✔1. Pigments
2. Storage products (what and where)- 3. 3. Carbohydrate

, 4. Flagellation
5. Cell wall Composition
6. Cell Structure
7. Habitat
8. Life Cycles
What are Cyanobacteria? - ✔✔Cyanobacteria is a group of bacteria, which
make their own food by the process of photosynthesis. They are called as
such because they are generally pigmented. Some cyanobacteria examples
include blue-green bacteria and cyanophyta.
What is the environmental importance of cyanobacteria? -
✔✔Cyanobacteria, previously called blue-green algae, are one of the oldest
known life forms. It is thought that these organisms were among the first
land colonizers of the Earth's early land masses, and played an integral role
in the formation and stabilization of early soils. The earliest cyanobacteria
fossils found are called stromatolites, which date back more than 3.5 billion
years. Extremely thick mats of these organisms converted the earth's
