8. What kind of brown algae is this and what body form is it?

Explanation

The correct answer is Phaeophyta, which refers to brown algae, known for their leaflike body form with holdfasts. The incorrect answer Rhodophyta is actually red algae with a branching body form. The incorrect answer Chlorophyta is green algae with a tube-like body form. The incorrect answer Diatom is a type of algae with a globular body form.

Submit
9. What kind of brown algae is this and what body form is it?

Explanation

Phaeophyta, commonly known as brown algae, typically have a body form that consists of blades or branches attached to a holdfast for anchorage. Rhodophyta, Chlorophyta, and Ochrophyta are types of red, green, and golden-brown algae respectively, with different body forms.

Submit
10. What kind of red algae is this and what body form is it?

Explanation

The correct answer is Rhodophyta PolysiphoniaFilamentous. Rhodophyta refers to red algae, and Polysiphonia is a genus of filamentous red algae. This combination indicates the specific type and body form of red algae being referred to in the question.

Submit
14. What kind of green algae is this and what body form is it?

Explanation

Chlorophyta is a division of green algae, and Anabaena is a filamentous body form commonly found in freshwater environments.

Submit
15. What kind of green algae is this and what body form is it?

Explanation

The correct answer is Chlorophyta Ulva which is a sheet-like green algae. The incorrect answers describe other types of algae or body forms that do not match the given question.

Submit
16. What kind of green algae is this and what body form is it?

Explanation

18. What type of lichen is this?

Explanation

Lichens are classified into four main groups - foliose, crustose, fruticose, and squamulose based on their growth form and structure. Foliose lichens have leafy or lobed structures, crustose lichens form a crust-like layer on the substrate, fruticose lichens have a branching or bushy structure, and squamulose lichens have small, scale-like structures.

Submit
19. What type of lichen is this?

Explanation

Lichens can be broadly categorized into three main types - Crustose, Foliose, and Fruticose. Crustose lichens are characterized by a crust-like growth form that is tightly attached to the substrate. Foliose lichens have a leafy or lobed appearance, while fruticose lichens have a shrubby or bushy structure. Gelatinous lichens do not represent a common or recognized type of lichen growth form.
