The types of Algae

There are six different types of algae.Why don't we learn about them today.First before we talk about them the most important organism because to me because most of our oxygen comes from them.

  First the most common algae is the green algae it lives in ponds usually on the surface of the water.The most important algae of all because most of our air comes from them.About 70% percent comes from algae.Here is a photo of green algae below.Before I learned about algae I thought they were useless,now I know that we could not live without them.To the far right is a picture of green algae.

  

  Now the brown algae we do yes.Brown algae is like kelp that fish eat.They have chlorophyll  and a brown pigment that gives them their color.

    Here is a picture of brown algae below this sentence to the far left.

  Red algae can also be used to make pudding to tooth paste smooth.Thank goodness you can't taste them or I'd fell sick.They also have a red pigment to help them absorb sunlight from deep in the ocean.I would of thought there would not be light down there.

To the right we have a picture of red algae.

  The  next algae were going to talk about is Dino flagellates.Wow a pretty interesting topic and word.The Dino flagellates are mean to the environment by making an alga bloom.An alga bloom is where they take over the surface and make it dark.After that they produce poison and kill marine life.The Dino flagellates also have a unique flagella to make them spin around in a circle.If they weren't used to it they would throw up.To the bottom we have a picture of red tide.

 The Eugleniods have a wiped like tail and have sensitive eyes that is named eye-spot that is sensitive to sunlight.I could not think of that much about them like the others,but lets get back to the topic.

The photo of Eugleniods to the right.

  The Diatoms their cell-membranes are made of the main substance that glass is made of.I think that the Diatoms are cool for their shiny outer layer.To the far left we have the diatom picture.

 
   That's my blog and thanks for reading.Be sure to read the other blogs that I do weekly.

The parts of BACTIRIA! Awsome!

The cell is surronded by a lipid a flexible cell membraine.It also holds nutrients like a mini-refrigerator for protien and other food.Bactiria as you know they don't have many organell's like our cells.Inside bactiria's cytoplasm they have very little intracellular structures.They also don't have a nucleus and other organells like our cells.These subcellular compartments are called "bactirial hyperstructures".

Although bactiria are not the most complex organism you can not imagine what they do for us in our life.I am always facinated by them and want to learn more about them.Luckily I have an awsome teacher who can help me to do that.
This is a picture on the structure of  a bactiria.It is an awsome organism and can do us well in our adventure in life.
Also check out this video on bactiria and cell growth.

 Check out this picture on the flagellum.

Bactiria contain a good developed cell structure that is responsible for many unice biological properties.Alot of structural features like the cytoplasm are unike to the bactiria are not found around others like archaea & eukariotes. Because of the simplicity of bacteria relative to larger organisms and the ease with which they can be manipulated experimentally, the cell structure of bacteria has been well studied, revealing many biochemical principles that have been subsequently applied to other organisms

Scarlet Fever oh-no!!!!!!

Scarlet Fever - strep throat with horrible itchy a rash.   

Scarlet Fever is known as Streptococcus (group A) and has the same bacteria as strep throat .  What was once a serious childhood disease can now be easily cured.  It takes one or two days for symptoms to show and it begins with a fever and sore throat.  I think it feels like sand paper on your tongue.  In the first 2 days a rash shows on the neck and chest.  Then it spreads across the whole body.   Other symptoms include chills, fever, headaches, vomiting and a swollen red tongue.   It can take up to 2 - 3 weeks to fully go away.  The disease can be carried by the mouth and nasal fluids and spread by the droplets from sneezing or coughing.I think that bactiria is pretty cool what it does for us.Like help us digest food and 99% of bactiria can help us in life.  

Check out this cool link to tell all about scarlet fever and it includes pictures.
