Document Summary

Their pigment allows them to absorb higher energy penetrating through water. The colour does not always look red; it depends on the amount of pigment phycocyanin and phycoerythrin.

Food groove food brought by water current is phagocytosed by the cell. Contractile vacuole water, wastes and solutes are pushed out by contraction of this structure. Pellicle used to support the membrane of cell. Cell moves by bulging its cytoplasm into pseudopods (false feet) Closely related to sponges: one long flagellum at the end. At the basis of phylogenetic tree which gives rise to animals. Thickening and stabilizing agent for food industry: major biofuels. Fungal-like: major decomposers and recyclers, multinucleate but unicellular. Related to diatoms and brown algae (though superficially look like fungi) Zoospores infect plant tissue, hyphal filaments penetrate and parasitize cells.
