1 Division: Rhodophyta Division: Rhodophyta species Class: Florideophycidae-6199 species - advanced reds - always multicellular: filaments or psuedoparenchymat ous -marine, freshwater -almost always multinucleate -many discoid chloroplasts -primary and secondary pit plugs - triphasic life history Part II 1 2 1N gametophytes 2N carposporophyte on Triphasic Life Histories :Terminology mitosis 1N Multiple produced through mitosis in gominoblast filaments Connecting filament or Ooblast filament = tube that carries the zygote nucleus from fertilized egg to internal auxiliary cell where it is cloned and differentiates into carpospores (in some Orders!) Carpogonium on a carpogonial branch 1N 2N Auxiliary cell = vegetative cell (N) that receives the 2N zygote nucleus after fertilization (in some Orders!) Gonimoblast = 2N filaments bearing carposporangia in the carposporophyte (ALL Florideophyceans have this) 1N growth meiosis 1N tetraspores 2N 2N tetrasporophyte 3 4 1

Order Gigartinales- 806 species Genus Endocladia - uniaxial - thallus covered with bumps (antiherbivory) - very high intertidal - saxicolous - can facilitate recruitment of other algae (Fucoids) Division: Rhodophyta species 5. Order Corallinales- 649 species Cell walls impregnated with CaCO3 Isomorphic alternation of generation Reproductive structures in conceptacles Ecological importance: stabilize reefs, induce invert settlement How do coralline algae become calcified? What is known: Sequestering of Calcium ions from the water column, synthesis of calcium carbonate (CaC0 3) in cell wall Synthesis of calcium carbonate(precipitation) requires a high ph High rates of photosynthesis correlated with high rates of calcification Coralline Algae and Global Warming Carbon reaction in seawater: CO2 + H20 H2C03 HCO3 + H+ CO3 + H+ Carbonic acid more acidic Bicarbonate Increasing CO2 pushes RXN in this direction 2 Carbonate more basic Calcification 2-3x faster in light than dark Global warming likely to lead to a lower in ph (raise in acidity of the world s oceans Highest in young tissue Photosynthesis may raise the ph immediately outside a cell 23 Acidic environment is bad for calcification process big (complicated) trouble for calcified critters and algae!! Lots of current research on this 24 6
