Properties are related to the structure and the composition of the molecules. Knowing the chemical formula is a giant step towards understanding a substance.
Q: Which group of algae is responsible for formation of kelp beds along the North American coasts?Select one of the options below as your answer: A. Brown algae B. Green algae C. Red algae A: A. Brown algae is responsible for formation of kelp beds along the North American coasts.
Reaching heights of more than 100 feet (30 m), the giant kelp is the largest âseaweedâ and the largest of all marine algae. It lives in cold, clear waters where it forms large, dense kelp forests that provide habitat for thousands of other marine species. Though it resembles a tall grass, giant kelp is not a plant. Instead, it is a brown alga and is part of the large kingdom of life known as the Protista. Most protists are single-celled organisms, but the giant kelp is a complex species and is the largest protist in the world. Since the giant kelp is not a plant, it does not have roots. Instead, it obtains all of the necessary nutrients directly from the water and is attached to the rocky bottom by a structure known as a holdfast.
