Depends on the algae. Roughly speaking (this is not exhaustive), these are some of the major algal groups:

  • Green algae - Aquatic relatives of plants.
  • Red algae - Similar to green algae, but containing a red pigment.
  • Brown algae - Many-celled aquatic algae, including kelp.
  • Golden algae - Single-celled "plants" that form glass shells around them. Also called diatoms.
  • Fire algae - Flagellate algae that whirl around when swimming. Also called dinoflagellates.

What class are the seaweed in?

Seaweeds are classified into three major groups; the green algae, the brown algae, and the red algae. Placement of seaweed into one of these groups is based on the pigments and colouration existing in the plant. Other seaweed features that are used to classify algae include: cell wall composition, reproductive characteristics, and the chemical nature of the photosynthetic products. Plant structure, form and shape are additional characteristics used to classify seaweed.
