One classification scheme splits the kingdom Protista into which three separate kingdoms?
Archaezoa, Protista, and Chromista
Why isn't a large piece of kelp considered a plant?
Kelp belongs to the kingdom Chromista. Plants are photosynthetic and store energy in the form of starch. Kelp are also photosynthetic, but produce sugars and not starch. Also, kelp and other chromists have "chlorophyll c" which gives it he characteristic brownish tint. This pigment and others that chromists contain are not found in any "plant."ChromistaThe kingdom Protista has been divided into Chromista and "other protists" The chromista have closer evolutionary ties to plants, animals, and fungi than they do to other protists. They are eukaryotic and autotrophic. This group includes red/brown algae (kelp) and diatoms. The multicellular organisms in Chromista are thought to have evolved their multicellularity independently from other kingdoms. Chromo means color, and although some chromists are colorless, they are characterized by a yellowish/brownish color coming from their version of chlorophyll.Anatomy of KelpThe features of kelp look like plant features. Where a plant would have roots, kelp has a "holdfast". The purpose of the holdfast is to attach the kelp to the sea floor. It does not obtain nutrients in the way that plant roots do. The "stipe" or stalk of the kelp is analogous to the stem of plants. The blades of kelp are analogous to leaves. In some kelp, at the base of the kelp blades, there are structures called gas bladders that allow the kelp to float upright.
What group is chromista?
It has a group of its own
Do chromista excrete waste?
Yes. All living things produce some waste. For chromista waste is excreted through the cell wall.
What are the 8 classifications of kingdom?
animalia, plantae, fungi, archaea, bacteria, archaezoa, protista, chromista.
What domain and kingdom does the microorganism diatoms belong to?
Diatoms belong to the domain Eukarya and the kingdom Chromista.
One classification scheme splits the kingdom Protista into which three separate kingdoms?
Archaezoa, Protista, and Chromista
Is seaweed in the monera kingdom?
No , , sea weeds are not included in kingdom Monera but in Kingdon Protista Seaweeds belong to three kingdoms: Kingdom Plantae (chlorophyte, or "green" algae seaweeds), Kingdom Plantae (rhodophyte, or "red" algae seaweeds), Kingdom Chromista (phaeophyte, or "brown" algae seaweeds) Kingdom Chromista (xanthophyte, or "yellow-green" algae seaweeds), and Kingdom Bacteria (cyanophyte, or "blue-green" algae seaweeds).
What kingdom do dinoflagellate belong to?
Dinoflagellates belong to the Chromalveolata kingdom. This kingdom was outlined by biologist Thomas Cavalier-Smith as a further refinement of the Chromista kingdom.
What are the 6 kingdoms in order from least to greatest?
There is ONE bacteria kingdom.
What other categories are there other than plant and animal?
There are six categories or "Kingdoms" today: 1) Animalia 2) Plantae 3) Fungi 4) Chromista 5) Protozoa 6) Bacteria
What is the classification of stramenopiles?
Stramenopiles are a diverse group of eukaryotic organisms characterized by the presence of flagella with fine, hair-like projections. They belong to the kingdom Chromista and include a range of organisms such as diatoms, brown algae, and oomycetes.
What are the 5 kingdoms (in order of most to least complex?
if you mean the subkingdoms of the animal kingdom then they are: 1.Eumetazoa 2.Parazoa if you mean the kingdoms of biology then they are: 1.Bacteria 2.Protozoa3.Chromista 4.Fungi 5.Plantae6.Animalia (Protozoa and Chromista can be combined as one group, Protista.)
