9. Predicting Listed below are certain environmental situations. For each

situation, decide whether it would be more advantageous for algae to
undergo sexual or asexual reproduction. Explain your answer.
a. Green algae live in a pond that is beginning to freeze.

b. A factory that manufactures fertilizer accidentally releases plant

fertilizers into a nearby lake. There is now a great deal of nutrients
for the green algae living in the lake.

10. Applying Concepts List at least three examples of how humans use algae.
