* Predominantly flagellates some are amoeboid
* Chlorophylls A and C present
* Reserve food as chrysolaminarin and their freuent
incorporation of silica

chlorophyll by brown pigments

algal phylum
* 1500 species of brown algae
* Mostly marine and include seaweed
* All are multicellular and large (often reaching
lengths of 147 feet)
* Individual alga may grow to a length of 100m with a
holdfast, stipe, and blade.
* Chlorophylls A and C present
* Used in cosmetics and most ice creams
* Many of them have holdfasts and air bladders which
give them buoyancy
