    Seaweed

    Seaweed is a type of algae (a plant-like


    protist) and its important in marine
    ecosystems and human diets.
    Protists
    Habitat Structure Nutrition Reproduction
    Habitat
    Aquatic Environment such
    as ponds, lakes, river,
    ocean
    Need moist conditions to
    survive. Can also be seen in
    damp soil and even snow.
    Structure
    Protists have a nucleus
    containing their DNA.
    They also have other
    membrane-bound organelles,
    such as mitochondria and the
    endoplasmic reticulum.
    Most protists are single-celled.
    Some are multicellular.
    Unicellular Multicellular

    Example: Amoeba, Euglena Example: Seaweed, Kelp

    organisms for food.
    Eg: Euglena,
    food like a plant. Corals Eg: Amoeba
    Eg: Algae
    Reproduction - Asexual
    In this process, the organism Binary Fission
    duplicates its genetic material and
    then divides into two equal parts,
    each with a copy of the original
    DNA.

    Binary fission is similar in concept


    to the mitosis that happens in
    multicellular organisms (such as
    plants and animals), but its
    purpose is different.
    Reproduction - Asexual
    Budding
    A new organism
    develops from an
    outgrowth/ bud on the
    parent organism

    Reproduction
    Fungi
    Fungi are eukaryotic organisms.
    Can be unicellular like yeast or multicellular like mould
    and mushroom
    They are classified as heterotrophs
    Habitat
    Most grow on land
    (terrestrial) environments -
    either soil or dead matter,
    but some species live only
    in aquatic habitats.
    Cap: Top part of the mushroom. It protects
    and produces spores. Structure
    Spores: Tiny cells that help fungi reproduce.
    They are like the seeds of fungi. It can spread
    via wind, water or animals.

    Stalk: Supports the cap

    Hyphae: Tiny thread like structures. Helps


    absorb nutrients, provides structure and
    allows them to spread over large areas.

    Fruit Bodies: The part we see, from Cap to


    Hyphae is the fruiting body, produces spores.
    Asexual
    Reproduction

    Spores
    Sexual Reproduction
    Fungi can also reproduce
    sexually when hyphae
    from 2 colonies grow
    close together and
    exchange DNA
    Moldy Science
    Objective: To grow and observe mold to understand its
    characteristics, in both wet and dry conditions.
