If many diatoms mp carbon di and sink to the bottom without being eaten, they effectively pu out of the atmosphere. E) Diatoms release atmosphere. large amounts of methane, a greenhouse gas, into the Q.12. Which of the following groups of algae is/are most closely relat lan plants? A) red algae B) green algae C) blue-green algae D) brown algae E) All of the listed responses are correct. Q.13. In life cycles with an alternation of generations, multicellular haploid fo alternate with A) unicellular haploid forms B) unicellular diploid forms. C) multicellular haploid forms. D) multicellular diploid forms

Explanation / Answer

11. What role do diatoms play in the global carbon balance affecting global warming?

D) During a bloom, diatom populations may increase rapidly. If many diatoms die and sink to the bottom without being eaten, they effectively pump carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.

12. Which of the following groups of algae is/are most closely related to higher plants?

B) Green algae

13. In life cycles with alternation of generations, multicellular haploid form alternate with

D) Multicellular diploid forms
