Algae and fungi posses characteristics that make them unique among all the organisms.
Algae are different from plants because they perform cell division in a very different way, their reproductive structures are completely nude, while in plants the reproductive structures are covered with a sterile layer of cells.
Fungi lack photosynthetic machinery, which differences them from algae, plants and some bacteria.
So, fungi and algae posses a wide range of characteristics that are enough to separate them from other kingdoms and have their own.
The original five kingdoms are Monera (bacteria), Protista (protozoa and algae), Fungi (fungi), Plantae (plants), and Animalia (animals). This classification system has been revised over time, with the addition of new kingdoms and changes in classification.
Algae provide photosynthetic products like sugars to fungi, while fungi provide nutrients and protection to algae. This mutualistic relationship is known as a lichen, where the algae live inside the fungal structure. Together, they can survive in harsh environments such as bare rock surfaces.
No, brown algae is not a fungus. Brown algae belongs to the kingdom Protista, whereas fungi belong to their own kingdom, Fungi. Brown algae are large, multicellular marine algae that photosynthesize and have different characteristics and life cycles compared to fungi.
Animalia and Fungi
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.
Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, Protista, Archaea, and Eubacteria.
Fungi are heterotrophic organisms- they can't synthesize their own food. Algae do perform photosynthesis thus making them autotrophic. Fungi and algae are not animals.

Animalia and Fungi
Protista, Algae, Fungi, Animalia and Plantae. All but Monera (Prokaryotae).
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.
The five kingdoms for microorganisms are Bacteria, Archaea, Protista, Fungi, and Viruses. Each kingdom represents a different group of microorganisms with distinct characteristics and biological functions.
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.
The kingdom that multicellular algae are categorized under is Plantae.
There are six kingdoms of scientific classification: Plantae, Animalia, Archaebacteria, Protista, Eubacteria and Fungi. Algae belong to the Kingdom Protista.
