Really really big THIS BIG
Giant sea kelp belongs to a group of protists known as brown algae. Despite its plant-like appearance, it is classified within the protist kingdom due to its unique characteristics and evolutionary history.
The largest plant without a trunk is the giant kelp. It is a type of seaweed that can grow up to 175 feet in length and forms dense underwater forests in ocean waters.
Some species of kelp, which are large brown algae, can grow to be several feet long. This group of protists, called phaeophytes, includes species like Macrocystis pyrifera, commonly known as giant kelp, which can reach lengths of over 100 feet. These protists are found in marine environments and play important ecological roles in coastal ecosystems.
Most protists are microscopic and cannot be seen without a microscope due to their small size. However, some protists, such as giant kelp, are macroscopic and can be seen without the aid of a microscope.
No, most kelp species are attached to the seafloor by a holdfast and do not move from place to place. They rely on water currents to bring nutrients to them. However, some species of kelp have gas bladders that help them float, allowing them to drift with the currents.
Giant kelp is 100 feet but it can grow to 175 feet
it can grow to the size of a house because i use to have one Giant kelp grows in clear, shallow underwater forests. It is known for its high growth rate, growing up to a half meter a day, and can grow legnths of 30 to 80 m. *sigh*
idk sorry :( maybe cause its giant?
Individuals may grow up to 50 meters (160 feet) or more
yes!
Giant kelp are neither animals nor plants. Giant kelp is in the Protista Kingdom.
Kelp is in the phylum Heterokontophyta, and the class Phaeophyceae.
Yes, giant kelp reproduce sexually. Giant kelp is a protist. Some kelp reproduce sexually while others reproduce asexually.
kelp does not eat, it is a plant. it photosynthesises
Giant kelp is a brown algae, some scientists believe it is a green algae but it is not.
something
Yes.
