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.
What kingdom does algae belong to?
it belongs to the protist kingdomi think it actually belongs to the kingdom of Stramenopila.I believe it belongs to the Moneran Kingom.
Examples of protista kingdom?
Examples of organisms belonging to the protista kingdom include algae, protozoa, and slime molds. Algae are photosynthetic organisms found in aquatic environments, protozoa are single-celled organisms that can be parasitic or free-living, and slime molds are fungus-like organisms that can move and behave like animals at some stages in their life cycle.
What is algae technically called?
Algae are protists. Protists are organisms in the kingdom Protist and made up of single or multiple cells which all contain a nucleus enclosed by a membrane. The protists are a diverse group of eukaryotes that cannot be classified as animals, plants, or fungi. Organisms in the Protista kingdom also include amoebae.
What protists are multicellular?
Most of the members of the Protist Kingdom are unicellular, however, there are a few species that, though simple, their structure and composition is multicellular, such as some species of algae, like the seaweed or 'kelp'.
What eukaryotic kingdom does algae belong to?
The answer to that question varies depending on the type of algae. Blue Green algae belongs to Monera Unicellular algae: Protista Multicultural algae the most common such as Red, Brown, and green algae belong to the Metaphyta (plantae) kingdom
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 is seaweed in?
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.
What is the kingdom for algae?
Different types of algae exist in different kingdoms. Algae include any archaeaplastids (an unranked level between domain and kingdom). Their chloroplasts are derived from cyanobacteria (known as blue-green algae, which are not algae despite their name) which entered the cells of their ancestor (in a process known as endosymbiosis). Chromalevolates are a separate kingdom of algae which are less closely related to plants, animals or fungi than any other eukaryote is, but are algae because they have chloroplasts which evolved from red algae which entered their cells (secondary endosymbiosis).

What kingdom has algae in it?
Single-celled algae belong to Kingdom Protista, in the five kingdom scheme of classification. Multicellular algae, however, belong to the Planta Kingdom.
What kingdom does algae and belong to?
Algae is Plant Kingdom. Protozoa is ANimal Kingdom (note the "...zoa" part, meaning "animal").
Are algae part of the fungi kingdom?
No, algae are not part of the fungi kingdom. They belong to their own kingdom called Protista. Algae are photosynthetic organisms that can be unicellular or multicellular, whereas fungi are heterotrophic organisms that obtain nutrients through absorption.
What kingdom ia algae considered?
Algae is a plant.
Which kingdom is spiragyra in?
Algae, Kingdom Protista
What kingdom are bluegreen algae?
They are in kingdom Monera.
What kingdom do multicellular algae belong to?
The kingdom that multicellular algae are categorized under is Plantae.
