This article talks about how algae is so hard to classify, because there are so many forms of it. For example it come in green, red, yellow and brown some algae is huge and some you need a micro scope to see also some are made of one cell and some and made of multiple cells but the strangest thing is that some are like animal cells and some like plants, by that i mean the plant cell algae uses photosynthesis to make its food and the animal cell ones eat other organisms. This is why algae is so hard to classify scientist want to stop even using the word algae witch would be really hard because that word has been around for a long time.
Q1: How would you classify algae?
Q2: Why do you think some algae acts like animal cells and some act like plant cells?

ReplyDeletei think algae should be classified as a plant it looks like a plant it uses photosynthesis and some of them have plant cells, even if they're many types of algae, i think if you ask someone about algae, she/he would answer you saying algae is a type of plant for sure; at least that's what i think of it.
ReplyDelete(Q1) maybe it's because of how it develops in life, what it's stage of life and how it forms.
ReplyDelete(Q2) maybe because they have something in common.
