How is a lichen different from most other plants?
Lichen is a mixture of algae / cyanobacteria and fungi. Lichens may look like plants but they do not reproduce with flowers. Lichens do not have roots like plants. They grow on plants as a substrate not as a parasite.
Can plants only live on land?
No, plants like seaweed and algae live completely or partly underwater. -A.D.
Why is cyanobacteria bacteria not algae?
At one time cyanobacteria were called blue-green algae and were included with the algae. However, like bacteria and unlike algae, cyanobacteria are prokaryotes, meaning that they do not have a nucleus. For this reason they were removed from the algae (which are eukaryotes) and put into the bacteria, with all the other prokaryotes.

What are adaptations of cyanobacteria?
Algae is a small plant growth which can take on many forms in swiming pools the main ones are green algae, mustard algae and black algae. Algae found in swimming pools is very small and resembles moss. These tiny microscopic plants feed on nutrients contained in the water. The algae spores, or seeds if you like, are either already present in the water, transported to the pool by wind or are attached to other debris which finds its way into the pool.
Plantlike protists are considered to be?
Plants are like protist in that they have a relatively simple organization.
What uses photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis is the process which creates glucose using sunlight, carbon dioxide and water. The equation for photosynthesis is: 6CO2 + 6H2O + sunlight = C6H12O6 + 6 O2.

Can some type of ocean plants live on land?
yes, some of them can like algae
What types of organisms use photosynthesis?
all green plants and primitive organisms like cyanobacteria do photosynthesis using chlorophyll pigment
Why aren't cyanbacteria and grenn algae classified as a plant?
Cyanobacteria and green algae are not considered to be plants due to several reasons. First, they are prokaryotic, meaning they are unicellular in nature. Second, they do not contain cellulose in their cell walls, like plants do. Thirdly, their DNA is "naked", and not condensed into chromosomes like plants. One final reason is that they reproduce through binary fission, much like bacteria do.

Is cytobacteria a consumer?
Cyanobacteria is an autotrophic life form(blue-green algae). Like other plants, these organisms can harness energy into glucose from the sun's radiation through photosynthesis. Read more here,: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanobacteria not sure if that helps, never heard of cytobacteria...
Why do biologists classify red and green algae with land plants?
Red and green algae are photosynthetic and are thus autotrophs. Otherwise, they are aquatic and (in the case of green algae) can be unicellular. But these are similarities that are not sufficient to define algae as true plants. All plants in the Kingdom Plantae are multicellular and terrestrial (ancestrally terrestrial in the case of waterlilies). Green algae are important in the study of plants as they show the base of the plant kingdom, hinting at what a common ancestor to the whole kingdom may have looked like. In particular, the charophytes are probably close to the common ancestor of all land plants. Thus, in the study of land plants, green algae can be considered the most recently diverged outgroup. And, earlier still, red algae diverged.

Are Monerans autotroph?
Some like cyanobacteria (green algae) produce their food via photosynthesis. Others through fermentation.
What kind of plants are most like algae?
Nonvascular plants are more similar to algae.
