Practice question
Question
A marine protist has stiff cellulose plates and two differently positioned flagella. If it multiplies rapidly, what may occur?
Explanation
The organism is a dinoflagellate. Red dinoflagellates such as Gonyaulax may multiply rapidly, making the sea appear red. Toxins released by such large populations may kill marine animals such as fishes.
