Continuation of survey of algae

                A.            Last time                                1.             Kingdom Monera: Class Cyanobacteriae (Class Cyanobacteria (cyano))                                2.             Kingdom Protista: Phylum Euglenophytya (euglena), Phylum Chromophyta (Class Chrysophyceae and Class Bacillariophyceae (silica)), and Phylum Dinophyta (pirate ship)                B.            This time                                1.             Kingdom Protista: Phylum Rhodophyta (red), Phylum Chlorophyta (chlorophyll), Phylum Chromophyta (Class Phaeophyceae (fart))                C.            Phylum Rhodophyta (red algae - red): mostly marine - use agar for food                                1.             Eucaryotic, cellulosic walls, complex life cycles                                2.             Found at great depths                                3.             Used in agar, in baked goods to prevent drying out and running of icing, as an ice cream thickener, and in toothpaste                D.            Phylum Chlorophyta (green algae - chlorophyll): photosynthetic pigments similar to that of plants                                1.             Green algae found predominantly in fresh water                                2.             Contain chlorophyll a and b, cellulosic walls, and stored starch                                3.             Ancestors of higher plants?                                4.             Diverse morphology - unicellular, filamentous, colonial, sheetlike                E.            Phylum Chromophyta (Class Phaeophyceae) (brown algae - fart): largest algae, used as food                                1.             Brown algae that contain cellulose in cell wall                                2.             Largest algae, conducting stuff from above (near sun) to below                                3.             Most complex algae                                4.             Dominant generation, in some cases, is diploid
