most controversial group |
|
SAR clade:

Include:
diatoms golden algae brown algae |
Flagella: 1 "hairy", 1 "smooth" (most) |
|
SAR: Stramenopile:
"Diatoms" |
Silicon Dioxide glass-like wall They die and fall to the ocean floor, taking carbon dioxide with them. Diaomaceous earth: fossilized diatoms |
Bacillariophyta |
|
SAR: Stramenopile:
"Golden Algae" |
named for their "golden" color |
Chrysophyta |

Protists |
-Symbiotic protists
-Photosynthetic protists (Producers) |
2 main roles |
|
Symbiotic Protists |
Symbionts benefit their hosts
Others are Parasitic |
Symbiont ex: Dinoflagellates nourish coral polyps Wood-digesting protists digest cellulose in the gut of termites Parasite ex: Plasmodium - malaria
|
|
Photosynthetic Protists |
Producers obtain energy from the sun they have declined as sea surface temperature has increased |
if this continues it can effect: -Marine ecosystems -Fishery yields -Global carbon cycle |
