Lab 7 - Brown Algae and Early Archaeplastids (Some algae and nonvascular
plants)
Learning Objectives:
1. Basic features of the Chromalveolate clade brown algae (phylum Phaeophyta).
2. Basic features of the true plants (clade Archaeplastids).
3. Basic features of the plant clades red algae (phylum (Rhodophyta), green algae (phylum
Chlorophyta), liverworts (phylum Hepaticophyta), mosses (phylum Bryophyta), and hornworts
(phylum, Anthocerophyta) in terms of complexity, pigments, levels of organization,
morphology.
4. Identify typical and/or common representatives of each of the above clades, i.e., Polysiphonuia,
Porphyra, Volvox, Spirogyra, Chlamydomonas, Ulva, Macrocystis, Fucus, Marchantia, and
Polytrichium.
4. The meaning of the terms in boldface in the sections covered.

A Note on the Classification of plants and plant-like organisms

The classification of these organisms is currently undergoing extensive revision. Most biologists
acknowledge that the traditional Linnaean classifications are no longer adequate. Refer to the
discussion in Chapter 26 (pp.541-546) of your textbook for further clarification.
