Question

a short note in point on chrysophytes

Answer 1

Chrysophytes, or golden algae, are common microscopic chromists in fresh water. Some species are colorless, but the vast majority are photosynthetic. As such, they are particularly important in lakes, where they may be the primary source of food for zooplankton. They are not considered truly autotrophic by some biologists because nearly all chrysophytes become facultatively heterotrophic in the absence of adequate light, or in the presence of plentiful dissolved food. When this occurs, the chrysoplast atrophies and the alga may turn predator, feeding on bacteria or diatoms.

Answer 2

HEYA MATE,

HERE IS UR ANSWER.

Thanks for asking this question.

#Chrysophytes are plant-like protists that can be found in marine and freshwater environments which are often low in calcium.

#Chrysophytes, or golden algae, are common microscopic chromists in fresh water.

#Chrysophytes are mainly non-motile, but they do have two flagellum for movement from harsh conditions. Most chrysophytes reproduce asexually through meiosis, as seen in the picture to the right, but under certain conditions diatoms reproduce sexually, dividing and exchanging parts.

#Chrysosphaerales and Ochromonadales
are some of the examples.
