dinoflagellate Explanation: Dinoflagellates . . secrete a cell wall of cellulose-like organic matter. Most species have a whip-like flagella that permits them to migrate (and even spin). Some dinoflagellates are luminescent -- they glow at night. They are photosynthetic, but some will switch to heterotrophic food gathering when limiting nutrients are not available. Numerous species of dinoflagellates are responsible for a dangerous situation called "red tides." In warm, nutrient-rich coastal waters, dinoflagellate population increase rapidly (a "bloom"). Toxins released by concentrated dinaflagellate populations can be incorporated into the marine food chain. These toxins often do not affect organisms low on the food chain, but they tend to accumulate (like DDT). The toxins can pose serious threats to carnivores high in the marin http://ijolite.geology.uiuc.edu/02SprgClass/geo117/lectures/... food chain, such as fish, whales, and humans. |

Dinoflagellaten Explanation: Nimm' einfach o für a! Dinoflagellaten (auch Dinophyta) sind eine Abteilung der Algen. Ihre Färbung reicht von gelbbraun bis rötlich. Des Weiteren leben sie meist einzellig und besitzen zwei lange Geißeln. Es gibt ca. 1000 Arten, die vorwiegend im Meer leben und dabei einen Hauptteil am Phytoplankton bilden.
