Range from unicellular to multicellular From phytoplankton to kelp forests Primary Endosymbiosis Fig Fig Secondary Endosymbiosis 3 Endosymbiosis 4 A second case of primary endosymbiosis? Paulinella chromatophora Supergroup Rhizarian Cerozoans Fig Fig

2 Photosynthetic pigments in chloroplasts Chlorophyll a Required for photosynthesis 5 Photosynthetic Pigments in Chloroplasts Why would so many different pigments evolve? 6 Accessory pigments Broadens the spectrum of light that can be absorbed Chlorophyll b Chlorophyll c Carotenoids (e.g. fucoxanthin, phycoerythrin, others) sunscreen, coloration 7 8 Primary productivity Productivity amount of biomass produced in a given area during a given period of time Fig Carbon cycling carbon sink Various mutualistic relationships 20% of world s photosynthesis 30% of world s photosynthesis Fig. 54, Algal blooms What limits growth of algae? Iron fertilization & diatoms Factors Warm surface temperatures High nutrients Low salinity Algal blooms Excessive growth of algae red tides, brown tides Toxins Fig
