• At lease one page written
• Will be turned in today
• I will call you up to give you your test for test corrections
• Prompt: Explain why the algae are so significant to like on earth. What makes them so essential for life? What would happen if we removed all the algea from earth now that it is so developed?
What would you anticipate it affecting (if anything).

• 1) do you think there are flowering plants in the marine environment?
• 2) Name 3 parts of a seaweed
• 3) What type of seaweed has fucoxanthin as a pigment?

• SWBAT: Identify the flowering plant representative groups of the marine environment
• Describe the economic importance of seaweeds

Economic Importance

• Food Source
• Mariculture - farming of seaweeds
– China, Japan, Korea
• Phycocolloids - Gelatinous chemicals
– Used in food processing
– AlginMajor source is Kelp
– CarrageenanMajor source is Irish moss (Chonrus)
– AgarMain source is red algae
• Fertilizers, food additives in animal feeds, hospitals

• 250,000 flowering plants
• Few marine
• Have true leaves, stems, and roots provided with special tissues to transport water nutrients and food
• Plantae
• Reproduction – dominant sporophyte (flower)
• Only the sea grasses are truly marine

• Not really grasses
• Evolved from land plants
• Adaptations to marine environmentRhizomes
• Small inconspicuous flowers

• Cordgrasses - true members of the grass family
– Land plants that can tolerate salt
• Do not tolerate total submergence by seawater.
• Leaves are always partly exposed to air
• Salt glands on leaves
• Salt tolerant plants are known as halophytes
