3 Domains, 5 Kingdoms
Although Kelp is listedunder Plantae, one ofits closest phylogeneticrelatives is a tropicalslime mode that growson walls….
Is Molecular Biology Useful?
“We share half our genome with thebanana. This is more evident in someof my acquaintances than others”
Primary ProductivityPhotosynthesis is an oxidation-reduction reaction
6 CO2 + 6 H20 C6H12O6 +6 O2
2 H20 + Light 4 H+ + 4e- + O2 (oxidation of H2O)
CO2 + 4H+ + 4e- CH2O + H2O(reduction of carbon)
In plants, these reactions arecatalyzed by pigments.
Types of Productivity Gross Production: The total amount of
carbon fixed, or oxygen generated
Net Production: Gross minus the cost ofrespiration, reproduction
Net = (Gross - Reprod. - Respiration)

Export Production Map
“Phytoplankton are the blood of the sea” --- Victor Hensen
“All fish is diatoms” --- Henry Bigelow
Daily average primary production and annual fish catch for the four eastern boundary current largemarine ecosystem regimes (global average daily production is provided for reference). These fourLMEs account for only 1.9% of the world’s oceans, but represent 3.7% of global production andgreater than 23% of global fish catch. Figure based on data from the FAO fisheries database.

Patterns of Productivity• The Net Result: there is alarge “Spring Bloom” inthe North Atlantic(temperate latitudes…remember the GulfStream!)

Ecosystems and Energy Transfer Ecosystem: biotic community + environment Producers Consumers Decomposers

Ecosystems and Energy Transfer Energy is always lost!
Ecosystems and Energy Transfer
Trophic Levels: each level of organism Trophic Transfer: percentage of energy

The Microbial Web Viruses can account for
a major source ofphytoplankton mortality
Bacteria canprovide 50% ofphytoplanktonnutrients
Some ecosystemscan be netheterotrophic

Food Chains: short, direct transfer ofenergy from phytoplankton to apexpredators
