Why is seaweed no longer classified a plant?
Seaweeds were once thought to be plants because according to greek thinker Aristotle, all the organisms which don't move are plants. As seaweeds don't move so they were thought to be plants. Moreover seaweeds also contain chlorophyll in them and perform photosynthesis.
The plural of kelp is either kelp or kelps,depending on how you are using it.
Non-count nouns like snow, food, kelp, people, sugar, do not usually need a plural form, but in certain uses they add an 's' to show that they are "groups of groups".
Here are some examples:
"Joe wants chocolate milk and Sue wants soy milk and I use skim milk. There are so many milks available now..."
Lactose, fructose, and other sugars can be found...
We have different nations, different 'races', but the peoples of the world must learn to...
The various shallow-water kelps have ....
Kelp does not eat, it is a plant, a producer.

Sunlight. It's a plant, not an animal.
Kelp do not eat sunlight, and kelp is NOT a plant. Kelp makes its own food by a process called photosynthesis. Kelp is a protist from the kingdom of Protista, it is not a plant
Good grief - kelp is a seaweed, not a protist. It is one of the brown algae, and indeed uses sunlight as the energy source to make its own food.
Actually, it is a protist and it gets nutrients from photosynthesis.
Yep, kelps are seaweeds, but they are actually from the Kingdom Protista (i.e. protists). They belong to the Class Phaeophyceae which are protists, not plants (although clearly, they are plant like). And yes, they photosynthesise.
What is the scientific name of seaweed that get eaten?
There are many species of sea urchin but all sea urchins belong to the class Echinoidea.
no because parasites are animal like and can move but seaweed is a plant so it doesn't move and animals find their own food as in plants make their own food
HOPED i helped
Yes! Seaweed is a microorganism that grows in oceans, lakes, rivers and other bodies of water.
+++
No - by definition. And seaweed is clearly not a micro-organism! However there are corresponding algae (the seaweeds are algae) as well as chlorophyllic aquatic plants in freshwater bodies.
What kind of algae are seaweeds at most often occur in warm marine waters?
Red algae is a type of seaweed. This seaweed lives in warm waters.
Um. I'm not sure if i am correct but i think it is Grass is anyone knows it for sure please post it Thanks! :)
My dog eats seaweed at least 2-3 times a week when we are at the beach. He eats the long tubular kind and he never seems to be ill. In fact it seems to help one of his regular problems which is blocked anal glands! Since we moved near the beach a year ago he hasn't had to visit the vet since!
Dog whelks are marine snails that are carnivorous. They eat mainly mussels and barnacle and not seaweed. The scientific name for dog whelks is Nucella lapillus.
How does kelp use photosynthesis?
Yes, the fronds of kelp plants serve to absorb nutrients and capture sunlight for photosynthesis. This is why most kelp forests tend to be found in somewhat shallow waters.
Most of the world's seaweed are what type of protist producer?
Most of the world's seaweed is red algae. There are also some green algae.
Seaweeds can breath underwater, Seaweeds live underwater. Seaweeds have a rock to hold on it, because if they do not they will not be there. Seaweeds also have a blade leaf. Seaweeds are living plants they can breath, just like normal humans.

yes they are all one celled organisms tha's why their protist
Are kelp's an omnivore carnivore or a herbivore?
To the extent of my knowledge, kelp is a herbivore. They cannot eat any type of animal or fish.
Grows in regions with cold coastlines, including those of the northwestern United States and northern Europe. Anchors itself to rocky surfaces via tentacle-like roots where stalks with leaf-like blades grow.

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.
What are the characteristics of seaweed?
The Hawaiian way to say seaweed is limu. It is one of the sources we use for food. There are about 420 species that grow in Hawaii. 13 of the 420 species can only be found here in Hawaii. Seaweed can be found in different colors (red, green or brown), shapes and sizes. It is mostly found near the shore, in the intertidal zone. Seaweed is gathered at beaches, near shore waters, and can also be found in vast underwater forests or floating on the water's surface. Seaweed can be very tiny or stretch to 300 ft or 100 m. That's like from the ocean floor to the surface!Seaweed is like an underwater weed because it grows freely and often times plentiful, but it is used for many things and is not a weed at all. Seaweed has many plant-like features, but they are not true vascular plants, they are marine algae. Algae is part of the Kingdom Protista, they are neither plants nor animals.
also,seaweed can live up to 500 meters deep in the sea.Seaweeds cousin
protists,can cause harmful things to the sea killing fish,even sometimes
humans.This is called a red tide.This can also be caused by blue-green
algae.
How you make nori from scratch at home?
ok let's get this thing started...i researched and came up with these two clippets of info "...the seaweed is harvested, it is washed and shredded before being pressed into molds to dry, forming paper like sheets of seaweed." "Finished products are made by a shredding and rack-drying process that resembles papermaking" soooo look up papermaking...especially paper from shredded plant material, and that should be a start. i, too, am interested in this process, so if anyone has further ideas, please share!! i suggest that you also try drying the seaweed first, then shredding in a blender with water...the way paper is made. haven't tried it yet...
