The 5 kingdoms are: Fungi, Plantae, Protoctista, Prokaryotae, & Animalia.

Algae have features of both plants and animals, but they are generally grouped in the plantae kingdom.

What eukaryotic kingdom does algae belong to?

The answer to that question varies depending on the type of algae. Blue Green algae belongs to Monera Unicellular algae: Protista Multicultural algae the most common such as Red, Brown, and green algae belong to the Metaphyta (plantae) kingdom


Is seaweed in the monera kingdom?

No , , sea weeds are not included in kingdom Monera but in Kingdon Protista Seaweeds belong to three kingdoms: Kingdom Plantae (chlorophyte, or "green" algae seaweeds), Kingdom Plantae (rhodophyte, or "red" algae seaweeds), Kingdom Chromista (phaeophyte, or "brown" algae seaweeds) Kingdom Chromista (xanthophyte, or "yellow-green" algae seaweeds), and Kingdom Bacteria (cyanophyte, or "blue-green" algae seaweeds).


What kingdom is seaweed in?

Seaweeds belong to three kingdoms: Kingdom Plantae (chlorophyte, or "green" algae seaweeds), Kingdom Plantae (rhodophyte, or "red" algae seaweeds), Kingdom Chromista (phaeophyte, or "brown" algae seaweeds) Kingdom Chromista (xanthophyte, or "yellow-green" algae seaweeds), and Kingdom Bacteria (cyanophyte, or "blue-green" algae seaweeds). Seaweeds that belong to the Kingdom Plantae are plants; the others, strictly speaking, are not. Kombu (kelp), arame (kelp), limu moui (kelp), hijiki, mozuku, and wakame are not plants. Wikipedia places them under Kingdom Chromalveolata because they are classified as "brown" algae seaweeds. However, nori (laver), ogo (limu), and dulse are classified as "red" algae seaweeds and are placed under Kingdom Plantae. Kingdom Protista, which includes the chlorophyll-containing, self-propelling euglenozoa, is a fourth kingdom of algae which contains no species of seaweeds. Thomas Cavalier-Smith defined Kingdom Chromista in 1981 and redefined it as Kingdom Chromalveolata in 2005. However, in 2008, other biologists have proposed splitting Kingdom Chromalveolata into at least two smaller kingdoms and this newer version has gained increasing support. The cancer-preventing marine polysaccharide, fucoidan, and the weight loss causing marine carotenoid, fucoxanthin, are both always plentiful in "brown" algae seaweeds, including kombu, arame, limu moui, hijiki, mozuku, and wakame. "Yellow-green" algae seaweeds, which are never sold commercially, do not contain much fucoidan or fucoxanthin, even though they are still classified as members of Kingdom Chromalveolata together with the "brown" algae seaweeds.


What are labelled algae?

The "algae" most people think of as algae are Cyanobacteria, *blue green algae*. By the name of the phylum you can guess that this "algae" is a bacteria, you are right. Scientifically speaking, true algae is only found in the Kingdom Protista, it is not plant, bacteria, fungi, or animal. We call Kingdom Protista the "grab bag kingdom" because it is home to the wierdest organisms that just don't fit well into other kingdoms. An example a true algae is Rhodophyta (red algae) Rhod=Red, Phyta=Algae. But to the lay person, they will mistake most Cyanobacteria for algae, and unless you are a biologist, this is just fine :)


What kingdom has algae in it?

Single-celled algae belong to Kingdom Protista, in the five kingdom scheme of classification. Multicellular algae, however, belong to the Planta Kingdom.


Are algae part of the fungi kingdom?

No, algae do not belong to the Kingdom Fungi. All algae belong in the unranked classification Archaeplastida, and green algae also belong to the Kingdom Plantae.


What is the kingdom for algae?

Different types of algae exist in different kingdoms. Algae include any archaeaplastids (an unranked level between domain and kingdom). Their chloroplasts are derived from cyanobacteria (known as blue-green algae, which are not algae despite their name) which entered the cells of their ancestor (in a process known as endosymbiosis). Chromalevolates are a separate kingdom of algae which are less closely related to plants, animals or fungi than any other eukaryote is, but are algae because they have chloroplasts which evolved from red algae which entered their cells (secondary endosymbiosis).


What kingdom do multicellular algae belong to?

The kingdom that multicellular algae are categorized under is Plantae.


Why do biologists classify red and green algae with land plants?

Red and green algae are photosynthetic and are thus autotrophs. Otherwise, they are aquatic and (in the case of green algae) can be unicellular. But these are similarities that are not sufficient to define algae as true plants. All plants in the Kingdom Plantae are multicellular and terrestrial (ancestrally terrestrial in the case of waterlilies). Green algae are important in the study of plants as they show the base of the plant kingdom, hinting at what a common ancestor to the whole kingdom may have looked like. In particular, the charophytes are probably close to the common ancestor of all land plants. Thus, in the study of land plants, green algae can be considered the most recently diverged outgroup. And, earlier still, red algae diverged.


What kingdom does algae and belong to?

Algae is Plant Kingdom. Protozoa is ANimal Kingdom (note the "...zoa" part, meaning "animal").


Which domain do algae belong to and its four role in nature?

Red algae belongs to the taxonomic domain of Eukarya, members of which are characterised by having cells with nuclei. Eukarya covers all organisms in the Kingdom Protista, as well as the Kingdoms Plantae, Fungi and Animalia.
