Solution
Phaeophyceae:
Phaeophyceae, sometimes known as huge kelp, is a brown alga that thrives in a temperate, coastal habitat.
It flourishes in water that is not deeper than 40 meters and warmer than 72 degrees.
Composition of the cell walls of Phaeophyceae members.
Multicellular filamentous cells with cellulose cell walls make up the Phaeophyceae family.
Some heterokont species do not have the typical heterokont eyespot, which is more common.
On the basis of genetic and ultrastructural information, the Phaeophyceae are categorized as heterokonts (Stramenopiles).
The heterokonts (Stramenopiles) are a large collection of organisms that includes both non-photosynthetic groups and photosynthetic individuals with plastids, such as diatoms (such as the slime nets and water molds).
