Classification of Chrysophytes
It has classified into three groups, diatoms (Bacillariophyceae), golden-brown algae (Chrysophyceae), and yellow-green algae (Xanthophyceae).
- Diatoms: Diatoms are the members of the division bacillariophyte. Diatoms intend to split in half. The two-part cell wall of diatoms is the inspiration for the name of these organisms. Diatoms are members of the Protista kingdom. This kingdom contains the following types of living things: dinoflagellates, diatoms, euglenoids, slime molds, and protozoans.
This kingdom only contains eukaryotic, unicellular species that have these characteristics. - Golden brown algae: Golden algae, also referred to as golden-brown algae, is a group of roughly 33 genera and 1,200 species of algae (division Chlorophyta) that can be found in both fresh and salt water. Golden alga is a member of the class Chrysophyceae. The group has a somewhat varied morphology, and its taxonomy is up for debate. Most golden algae are biflagellates, single cells with two different flagella. They can be identified by the pigment fucoxanthin and the use of food reserves made of oil droplets. Many are protected by a silica cyst called a statocyst, also called a statospore, whose ornamentation can be used to distinguish between species. Rarely does sexual reproduction occur? It is possible for organisms to reproduce asexually by producing both motile and nonmotile spores as well as yellow-brown algae: an important family of heterokont algae is the Xanthophyceae (also known as xanthophytes), or yellow-green algae. However, some can be found in ecosystems on land and in the ocean. They range from filamentous and basic colonial forms to single-celled flagellates.
Chrysophytes
The practice of classifying organisms based on shared characteristics is known as biological classification. The two kingdoms of classification were proposed by Linnaeus. He divided organisms into two kingdoms: the animal world (Animalia) and the plant kingdom (Plantae). The two kingdom classification had some drawbacks, such as the inability to distinguish between eukaryotes and prokaryotes, unicellular and multicellular species, and photosynthetic and non-photosynthetic organisms. As a result, this field underwent further development, with R.H. Whittaker’s Five Kingdom classification serving as the primary example.
