Rhodophyta, commonly known as red algae, obtain nutrients primarily through photosynthesis. They contain chlorophyll and other pigments that enable them to absorb sunlight and convert it into energy. Some species may also absorb nutrients from their surroundings, such as dissolved minerals in water.
Seaweed belongs to the kingdom Protista (algae), which is further divided into three main groups: red algae (Rhodophyta), brown algae (Phaeophyta), and green algae (Chlorophyta). These groups are then subdivided into different classes and species based on their characteristics and taxonomy.
Rhodophyta and Chlorophyta are two examples of plant like protists. These " seaweeds " have holdfasts instead of roots, stipes instead of stems and blades instead of leaves. They do preform photosynthesis though.
AP Bio take home test, huh? Taking it as we speak. Answer is B. Cholorphytes (unless your teacher scrambled the answers or mine did then it would be a different letter, but the answer is chlorophytes).
Most protista are unicellular, but not all are. Google Chlorophyta and Rhodophyta for examples of multicelled protista.
Phaeophyta- Fucoxanthin Rhodophyta- Phycoerythrin or Phycobilin

The seaweed types like chlorophyta and rhodophyta.
Probably photosynthetic multicellular protists, such as Rhodophyta and Chlorophyta.
