Seaweeds, commonly referred to as macroalgae, are primarily composed of protists, specifically those belonging to the kingdom Protista. They are mainly classified into three groups: green algae (Chlorophyta), brown algae (Phaeophyta), and red algae (Rhodophyta), each characterized by distinct pigments and cellular structures. Unlike land plants, seaweeds lack true roots, stems, and leaves but possess specialized structures like holdfasts, stipes, and blades that allow them to thrive in marine environments. These protists play crucial ecological roles, providing habitat and food for various marine organisms.
Protists are made up of very large, diverse group of organisms, including the plant-like protists (algae), fungi-like protists, and the animal-like protists (protozoans). They are all eukaryotic, and most are unicellular.
No, weeds are not protists when they are plants even though yes, they are protists when they are algae. Protists include organisms, with nucleus and organelles enclosed within membranes, that cannot be called definitively animals, fungi or plants. Algae may be weedy in ways that threaten vegetation near water bodies and water gardening.
Protists are primarily made up of eukaryotic cells, which contain membrane-bound organelles, including a nucleus. Their cellular composition can vary widely, as protists can be unicellular or multicellular and may have cell walls made of cellulose (in algae) or silica (in diatoms). Additionally, they often contain various organelles such as chloroplasts for photosynthesis in autotrophic species and contractile vacuoles for osmoregulation in freshwater species. Overall, protists exhibit diverse structures and biochemical compositions tailored to their ecological roles.
Animal-like protists are autotrophic, while plant-like protists are heterotrophic.
No, not all protists have cell walls. Some protists have cell walls made of various materials like cellulose or silica, while others do not have cell walls at all. The presence or absence of a cell wall depends on the specific type of protist.
Sea weeds are algae.So they are protists.
Sea weeds are algae.They are protists,not plants.

Cells
The yield of ANY crop is affected by weeds. While you can't always see the effects, the weeds are stealing crop nutrients and water from the crop.
A food made by a protists is ice cream
his beard is made of weeds
Protists are used in medication that treat blood pressure, digestion problems, ulcers and arthritis. Protists are also used as food additives and are an important part of the food chain.
