The Six Biological Kingdoms

• Domain: Archaea • Organisms: Methanogens, halophiles, thermophiles, and psychrophiles • Cell Type: Prokaryotic • Metabolism: Depending on species, oxygen, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, sulfur, or sulfide may be needed for metabolism • Nutrition Acquisition: Depending on species, nutrition intake may occur through absorption, non-photosynthetic photophosphorylation, or chemosynthesis • Reproduction: Asexual reproduction by binary fission, budding, or fragmentation Luise Thiemann/EyeEm/Getty Images Fungi include both unicellular (yeast and molds) and multicellular (mushrooms) organisms. Unlike plants, fungi are not capable of photosynthesis. Fungi are important for the recycling of nutrients back into the environment. They decompose organic matter and acquire nutrients through absorption. Bailey, Regina. "Guide to the Six Kingdoms of Life." ThoughtCo, Apr. 5, 2023, thoughtco.com/six-kingdoms-of-life-373414.

Green Algae (Chlorophyta)

Chlorophyta are commonly known as green algae and sometimes, loosely, as seaweed. They grow primarily in freshwater and saltwater, although some are found on land. They may be unicellular (one cell), multicellular (many cells), colonial (a loose aggregation of cells), or coenocytic (one large cell). Chlorophyta convert sunlight to starch that is stored in cells as a food reserve. Green Algae Characteristics Green algae have dark- to light-green coloration that comes from having chlorophyll a and b, which they have in the same amounts as "higher plants"—the plants, including seed plants and ferns, that have well-developed vascular tissues that transport organic nutrients. Their color is determined by the amounts of other pigmentation, including beta-carotene (yellow) and xanthophylls (yellowish or brownish). Chlorophyta belong to the kingdom Plantae. Originally, Chlorophyta referred to a division within the Plantae kingdom comprising all green algae species. Later, green algae species living predominantly in seawater were classified as chlorophytes (i.e., belonging to Chlorophyta), while green algae species thriving mainly in freshwater were classified as charophytes (i.e., belonging to Charophyta). The including 550 species of Trebouxiophyceae(mostly on land and in freshwater), 2,500 species of Chlorophyceae(mostly freshwater), 800 species of Bryopsidophyceae (seaweeds), 50 species of Dasycladophyceae(seaweeds), 400species of Siphoncladophyceae (seaweeds), and 250 marine U...

If the question comes as Under which kingdom algae comes ?1 Monera2 protista3 plantae What will be the appropriate answer and why?

Algae is found in all three kingdoms. Its classification depends on what kind of algae it is. One kind of algae called the blue green algae also called cyanobacteria that falls under monera (as archae bacteria) . All eukaryotic unicellular algae despite being photosynthetic is placed under protista. eg: Euglena, Diatoms etc All multicellular eukaryotic algae is placed under the kingdom plantae. Eg; Chorophycae (green algae) , Rhodophycae (Red algae) etc. BUT IN GENERAL MOST OF THE ALGAE IS FOUND UNDER THE KINGDOM PROTISTA. So if for exams its an mcq question , u can choose protista

Kingdom Plantae: Explanation, Classification, Concepts, Videos, Examples

Kingdom Plantae Kingdom Plantae includes green, brown and red algae, liverworts, mosses, ferns and seed plants with or without flowers. They have the following characteristics: • They are • These contain photosynthetic pigment in plastids. The principle mode of nutrition is photosynthesis. • They are primarily non-motile and live anchored to a substrate. • Reproduction is primarily asexual or sexual. The reproductive organs are multicellular. They form a multicellular embryo during development from the zygote. Algae lack the embryo stage. • The life cycle consists of alternating haploid gametophyte and diploid sporophyte generation. This phenomenon is called the alternation of generation. Thallophyta (Algae) They are simple, autotrophic non-vascular plants. They have unicelled sex organs and no embryo formation. These grow in specialized habitats: • Cryophytes: These grow on snow or ice. • Thermophytes: These grow in hot water. • Epiphytes: These are those algae that grow on other plants (algae, angiosperms). Examples include Oedogonium, Cladophora, Vaucheria, etc. • Endophytes: Some blue-green algae grow as endophytes inside other plants e.g., Anabaena growing inside the leaf of Azolla (fern). • Parasites: The alga Cephaleuros virescens grows a parasite on the tea leaves.
