PPT-Red Algae and Green Algae

By Mark Zhou and Asad Zaheer Structure May live in colonies Store energy as starch Stacked thylakoids Cell walls made of cellulose Most have flagella Red color from phycoerythrin . Algae Algae have been used in animal and human diets since very early times Filamentous algae are usually considered as macrophytes since they often form floating masses that can be easily harvested although many c Diatoms Flagellates Rotifers Green algae Calanoids Cyclopoids Zebra/Quagga mussels Mollusks Chironomids Amphipods Opossum Shrimp Round Goby Rainbow Trout Burbot Lake Trout Chinook Salmon Smallmouth Ba Diatoms Flagellates Rotifers Green algae Calanoids Cyclopoids Zebra/Quagga mussels Mollusks Chironomids Amphipods Opossum Shrimp Ruffe Rainbow Trout Burbot Lake Trout Chinook Salmon Walleye Lake Super Diatoms Flagellates Rotifers Green algae Calanoids Cyclopoids Mollusks Chironomids Gammarus Round Goby Rainbow Trout Burbot Lake Trout Smallmouth Bass Walleye Lake Erie Food Web White Bass NOAA, Great kelp forest.
