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.

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...

If you can find one that has gluten free soy sauce or no soy sauce then probably.

What are harmfull effect of a seaweed?

Seaweed is a type of marine algae that is commonly found in oceans lakes and rivers. While it has many benefits it can also have some harmful effects.

  • Seaweed can cause algal blooms which can disrupt aquatic ecosystems. Algal blooms can reduce oxygen levels in the water which can harm fish and other aquatic organisms.
  • Seaweed can also contain toxins such as those produced by certain species of red tide algae. These toxins can be harmful to humans causing skin irritation and respiratory problems.
  • Seaweed can also reduce the amount of light that reaches the seafloor which can affect the growth of other marine organisms.

In addition seaweed can also cause beach closures due to the accumulation of debris and bacteria. For these reasons it is important to be aware of the potential harm that seaweed can cause to marine ecosystems.

Are seaweed plants?

Yes,

Seaweed is a loose colloquial term encompassing macroscopic, multicellular, benthic marine algae.[1] The term includes some members of the red, brown andgreen algae. Seaweeds can also be classified by use (as food, medicine, fertilizer, industrial, etc.).

A seaweed may belong to one of several groups of multicellular algae: the red algae, green algae, and brown algae. As these three groups are not thought to have a common multicellular ancestor, the seaweeds are a polyphyletic group. In addition, some tuft-forming bluegreen algae (Cyanobacteria) are sometimes considered as seaweeds - "seaweed" is a colloquial term and lacks a formal definition.
