Do most kelp move place to place?

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.


What are some kelp adaptations?

There are many different kinds of kelp, so there are some variations in their adaptations. Some of the commonly-seen kelp adaptations include reproducing by releasing spores instead of seeds, which appears to be more successful for kelp, and growing small air bladders along the stems so that the kelp is able to "stand" upright. Kelp also grows extremely fast, so even though many animals eat it, it is able to survive.


How does the kelp use its structure to survive?

Kelp has a unique structure that allows it to thrive in marine environments. Its long, flexible blades can sway with ocean currents, reducing the risk of damage from strong waves. The gas-filled bladders, or pneumatocysts, help keep the kelp buoyant, allowing it to reach sunlight for photosynthesis. Additionally, its root-like holdfast anchors it to the ocean floor, providing stability and access to nutrients.

Why is kelp not a plant?

Answer Kelp belongs to the kingdom Chromista. Plants are photosynthetic and store energy in the form of starch. Kelp are also photosynthetic, but produce sugars and not starch. Also, kelp and other chromists have "chlorophyll c" which gives it he characteristic brownish tint. This pigment and others that chromists contain are not found in any "plant." ChromistaThe kingdom Protista has been divided into Chromista and "other protists" The chromista have closer evolutionary ties to plants, animals, and fungi than they do to other protists. They are eukaryotic and autotrophic. This group includes red/brown algae (kelp) and diatoms. The multicellular organisms in Chromista are thought to have evolved their multicellularity independently from other kingdoms. Chromo means color, and although some chromists are colorless, they are characterized by a yellowish/brownish color coming from their version of chlorophyll. Anatomy of Kelp The features of kelp look like plant features. Where a plant would have roots, kelp has a "holdfast". The purpose of the holdfast is to attach the kelp to the sea floor. It does not obtain nutrients in the way that plant roots do. The "stipe" or stalk of the kelp is analogous to the stem of plants. The blades of kelp are analogous to leaves. In some kelp, at the base of the kelp blades, there are structures called gas bladders that allow the kelp to float upright.
