What kingdom is seaweed in?

Answer 1

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).

Seaweeds that belong to the Kingdom Plantae are plants; the others, strictly speaking, are not. Kombu (kelp), arame (kelp), limu moui (kelp), hijiki, mozuku, and wakame are not plants. Wikipedia places them under Kingdom Chromalveolata because they are classified as "brown" algae seaweeds. However, nori (laver), ogo (limu), and dulse are classified as "red" algae seaweeds and are placed under Kingdom Plantae.

Kingdom Protista, which includes the chlorophyll-containing, self-propelling euglenozoa, is a fourth kingdom of algae which contains no species of seaweeds.

Thomas Cavalier-Smith defined Kingdom Chromista in 1981 and redefined it as Kingdom Chromalveolata in 2005. However, in 2008, other biologists have proposed splitting Kingdom Chromalveolata into at least two smaller kingdoms and this newer version has gained increasing support.

The cancer-preventing marine polysaccharide, fucoidan, and the weight loss causing marine carotenoid, fucoxanthin, are both always plentiful in "brown" algae seaweeds, including kombu, arame, limu moui, hijiki, mozuku, and wakame. "Yellow-green" algae seaweeds, which are never sold commercially, do not contain much fucoidan or fucoxanthin, even though they are still classified as members of Kingdom Chromalveolata together with the "brown" algae seaweeds.

Answer 2

Seaweeds are marine algae: saltwater-dwelling, simple organisms that fall into the somewhat outmoded category of "plants". Most of them are the green, brown or red kinds and most are attached by holdfasts. They use sunlight as do other plants.

Seaweeds belong to three kingdoms:

Kingdom Plantae ("green" algae seaweeds),

Kingdom Plantae ("red" algae seaweeds),

Kingdom Chromista ("brown" algae seaweeds)

Kingdom Chromista ("yellow-green" algae seaweeds), and

Kingdom Bacteria ("blue-green" algae seaweeds).

Answer 3

No , sea weeds (Algae ) are included in kingdom Protista , they don't have their own kingdom .

Actually 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).

Answer 4

Seaweed is a type of algae, and all algae belong to the taxonomic domain of Eukarya.Eukarya covers all organisms in the Kingdom Protista, as well as the Kingdoms Plantae, Fungi and Animalia.

Answer 5

It belongs in the Kingdom of Protista, were unicellular and chloroplast in some cell wall and nucleus....

Answer 6

Sea weeds are algae.They are protists,not plants.

Answer 7

the kingdom protista

Answer 8

Kingdom Protista.
