What class are the seaweed in?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Seaweeds are classified into three major groups; the green algae, the brown algae, and the red algae. Placement of seaweed into one of these groups is based on the pigments and colouration existing in the plant. Other seaweed features that are used to classify algae include: cell wall composition, reproductive characteristics, and the chemical nature of the photosynthetic products. Plant structure, form and shape are additional characteristics used to classify seaweed.

Is it possible to be allergic to seaweed?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No. Unfortunatley, you can not eat seaweed because generally it contains such high amounts of iodine that it would make the reaction you have to the substance much more intense.

You might find this medical explaination interesting for an individual lacking iodine:

Seaweeds have a salty taste that is an indication that the material can disperse phlegm accumulation, particularly as it forms soft masses, include goiter, the thyroid swelling that indicates severe iodine deficiency. Thus, seaweed is enriched in with iodine and you can not eat it.

Is seaweed halal?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

of course it is. Halal is everything except pork and gelatin in food Salaam. It is very dangerous to say HALAL IS EVERYTHING because it is wrong, halal is only that animal that has been sacrificed and slaughtered in the Islamic method but that animal also has to be one of the chosen animals that we are allowed to eat for example a cow and a pig, we are allowed to eat cow but only if its slaughtered in the Islamic way, if its just killed any other way then that specific cow is haraam for us to eat but a pig we are not allowed to eat so even if its slaughtered in the Islamic method its still haraam for us. Yes gelatin is also haraam. Salaam
Yes, it is kind of sea food that is halal to eat and allowed for Muslims to eat.

What are the names of different types of seaweed?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The simplest of the seaweeds are among the cyanobacteria , formerly called the blue-green algae, and green algae (division Chlorophyta ), found nearest the shore in shallow waters and usually growing as threadlike filaments, irregular sheets, or branching fronds. The brown algae (division Phaeophyta ), in which brown pigment masks the green of the chlorophyll, are the most numerous of the seaweeds of temperate and polar regions. They grow at depths of 50 to 75 ft (15-23 m). The red seaweeds (division Rhodophyta ), many of them delicate and fernlike, are found at the greatest depths (up to 879 ft/268 m); their red pigment enables them to absorb the blue and violet light present at those depths.

Why must seaweeds and mosses live in the water or damp places?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Seaweed do not have to live in water all the time - think of inter-tidal periods when they are not in the water. Only some kinds of moss live in the water. Many kinds of mosses never live in the water - but do tend to live in a damp environment. The underlying concept to think about is dessication.
