What is the difference between green and brown algae?

Green and brown algae are two groups that together make up most of the eyelashes in the world, although they are completely different. Along with red algae, brown and green varieties are sometimes referred to the use of the colloquial term "seaweed". Although both eukaryotic (comprehensively cellé) are multicellular organisms, they belong to various kingdoms, while green algae belongs to plantae and brown algae to chromalveolata. Plantae and chromalveolata are two of the six main divisions of eukaryote, others are mushrooms, animal, amoebozoa, rhizaria and excavattes. Both groups are mostly sea, but green is better adapted to fresh water than brown. Although Kelp and Sargassum are the best known varieties, there are more than 1,500 species and they are particularly common in the cooler northern hemisphere. Brown algae can often be found along the rocky coast. Together with their most unicellular relatives in the phylum heterokontophyta are autotrophs (photosynthetic organisms) with chloroplasts covered with four mEmbrins. This eyelash uses a pigment called Fucoxanthin to absorb sunlight, giving it a brownish green color. The cells often have holes used to share nutrients and free carbon.

Green algae are somewhat more common than brown from the perspective of humans, because it grows more often in lakes and near the river, which people tend to see more often than the open sea. It is known for being the most primitive group in Kingdom Plantae and in the form of life from which the ground plants (embryophytes) developed approximately 500 million years ago during the Ordovice period. There are about 6,000 known species of green algae, most of them unicellular, although the most visible species live in colonies structured in long chains or fibers. Only Charales - Stoneworts, a type of weeds with a pond most related to land plants - real tissue differentiation occurs.

both typesAlgae is extremely important because manufacturers in water ecosystems and the diet of many fish, especially juveniles, are mostly or solely formed. Some fish are even specially adapted to cleaning lashes, among other things, fish. Along with corals, eyelashes are one of the most most types and more complex water ecosystems on the planet, where they are home to tens or thousands of marine species.
