There are several groups, including the reds (which include many seaweeds, including the coralline algae), greens (that include both marine, aquatic and terrestrial species, and are related to land plants), [ and the browns (which also include many seaweeds, including kelp). They are in the protista kingdom. They were first in the plantae kingdom and have moved a lot and been disputed about, but they have been decided to be in the protista kingdom. ]

What are the two major group of protists?
There are THREE major protists groups. Before, there were classified in two groups. This are the one: PROTOZOA ALGAE FUNGUS-LIKE FUNGI PROTISTS
Is Cymatopleura a single celled organism?
Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is in nature largely photoautotrophic (obtaining all its energy from photosynthesis). However, it can grow heterotrophically when supplied with a suitable carbon source (acetate is commonly used). This is quite an artificial situation, but allows it to be grown in laboratories in the dark, and to grow mutants which are unable to perform photosynthesis.
What Algae are the major oxygen producers in a water environment?

Are diatoms prokaryotic?

What are the major features of plants?

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.
