dc.description.abstract | Photosynthesis occurring in algae require light as an energy source. Algae possess a variety of chlorophylls and accessory pigments to capture the usuable light from the environment. Epiphytic algae are the most susceptible to light limited environments because they are located in stationary microhabitats in the littoral zone with no ability to move to the open waters. In this experiment, different wavelengths of light were blocked in order to observe the effects of limited wavelengths of light available for photosynthesis on epiphytic algae from Refrigerator Pond. Yellow, blue, and red stained water was used as a filter for the light available to the algae. With the loss of these wavelengths of light, the relative abundance of the algal genera were the same in each of the treatments. The algae were able to survive and capture light for photosynthesis even with the loss of these different wavelengths of light. | en_US |
