  1. Archaeplastida Colleen K, Alex P, Brendan M, Pallavi P

  2. Description • Its eukaryotic • Red and green algae • Multicellular and unicellular • Related to land plants • Photosynthetic • Lack centriols • Mitochondria has flat cristae

  3. Ecological significance • Located in Freshwater • HELPFUL: Larger types are seaweed that are the base of the food web for marine life • HARMFUL: Red Tide – Algae Bloom • Production of natural toxins, depletion of dissolved oxygen

  4. Examples • From a small group called glaucophytes • Moss – Archaeplastidaglincola • Red Algae • Under the surface of salt bodies of water

  5. Evolutionary significance They form a paraphyletic group The chloroplast have 2 membranes – developed directly from endosymbioticCyanobacteria
