Salt Marsh

Mangroves
Plants
Converting
chemicals into
food energy in the
absence of
sunlight
Chemosynthesis
Viruses are made
of DNA or RNA
surrounded by
this
protein coat
(capsid)
Major ecological
role of fungi
Decomposers
Bioluminescent
bacteria produce
this for their
mutualistic hosts
Light
Microbes,
chemically different
from bacteria, that
live in harsh
environments
Archaeons
Another name for
seaweeds
Multicellular
macroalgae
Asexual
reproduction where
a piece of a seaweed
breaks off an forms
into a separate
organism
Fragmentation
Type of cyclical
reproduction
commonly found in
seaweeds
Alternating
generations
Seaweeds that live
longer than two
years
Perennials
According to most
scientists, seaweeds
are not true plants
because they lack
this
Vascular tissues
Most diverse
(6,000 species)
Red
Most of its species
live in freshwater
environments
Green
Perennials
Brown
Help add calcium
carbonate to build
coral reefs
Red
Used historically to
prevent goiter
Brown
Segrasses do this to
prevent a buildup
of epiphytes
Grows and sheds
its leaves quickly
Seagrasses
reproduce by this
type of pollination
Water pollination
Seagrasses most
closely compare to
these freshwater
plants
Lillies
Term used to
describe plants like
seagrasses that live
their lives completely
underwater
Hydrophytes
During the drought
in the early 2000’s,
the place in the
Chesapeake Bay
where seagrasses
grew back the most
Middle
Three general
ecological roles
shared by salt marsh
plants with other
marine flowering
plants
Food, habitat, and
sediment
stabililzation
Climate in which
salt marshes are
found
Temperate
These help salt
marsh plants retain
water
Succulent leaves,
thick cuticle, and
salt glands
This ecological role
played by salt
marshes helps keep
algal bloom from
occurring
Biological filter
Salt marsh plants
contribute to the
food chain mostly
by this method
Adding to detritus
(food for microbes)
Mangroves are
know for these
unusual structures
Roots
Found in this
climate
Tropical
Method of sexual
reproduction
found in
mangroves
Wind pollination
Ecological role
played by mangrove
forests that is
important in
maintaining marine
animal populations
Nursery grounds
Types of roots that
grow from high on
the trunk
Prop roots
