Dictionary » A » Algae AlgaeDefinition noun, singular: alga A group of aquatic, photosynthetic, eukaryotic organisms ranging from unicellular to multicellular forms, and generally possess chlorophyll but lack true roots, stems and leaves characteristic of terrestrial plants.
In five kingdom scheme of classification, the algae, together with the protozoa, belong to Kingdom Protista. They are distinct from the protozoa by being photosynthetic. The algae are further grouped into various phyla: Euglenophyta (euglenids), Chrysophyta (diatoms), Pyrrophyta (dinoflaggelates), Chlorophyta (green algae), Phaeophyta (brown algae), and Rhodophyta (red algae). The Cyanophyta or blue-green algae, which are prokaryotic organisms, are traditionally included in this group but in modern classification, they are now grouped together with bacteria under Kingdom Monera.

The O2 allegedly didn't come into being until blue green algae produced it. My question is how did the water vapor ever condense with all that greenhouse effect. Dejavu, water vapor is being continually pumped ...

Re: Any SOLID arguments against evolution?... we must also consider the genome learning rate in our consideration of how long it takes for a given genome to speciate. You mean like blue green algae for on example. Supposedly the oldest living fossils or fossils period. A bit out of the subject at hand but evolutionary theory compares apples ...

Re: Any SOLID arguments against evolution?... the Creation Research Society. "Endosymbiotic theory proposes that primary endosymbiosis of cyanobacteria by an ancestral cell gave rise to algae and plants and secondary endosymbiosis of algae by protists gave rise to photosynthetic protists. "The following quote gives us a picture ...
