You are diving off the coast of an island. Since you are a very good diver, you can go quite deep. Once you stop descending, you look around at the life forms. You notice what you think is an algae. Knowing what you know about algae and their ability to undergo photosynthesis, what phylum of algae are you most likely looking at? -Phylum Bacillariophyta -Phylum Chlorophyta -Phylum Phaeophyta -Phylum Chrysophyta -Phylum Rhodophyta

Dinoflagellates are unicellular, marine protists. Dinoflagellates are bioluminescent, but only at night. During the day, they carry out photosynthesis similar to other autotrophs. At night, however, they bioluminesce every time they are disturbed. They are often seen in the wakes of ships at night. While the reason for this bioluminescence is not fully understood, many scientists concur that it is a form of self-defense. If small fish begin to feed upon the protists, the protists will begin to bioluminesce. These flashes of light in the dark water can alert larger fish and draw them towards the small fish, upon which they prey. By making the small fish vulnerable, the dinoflagellates are able to protect themselves. Based on the information above, a researcher decides to design an experiment in which she is testing how long it takes for dinoflagellates to recover after different amounts of disturbance. She maintains 10 containers of dinoflagellates with similar temperature, salinity and…
