    This document summarizes key characteristics of several protist phyla: - Red algae (Rhodophyta) have photosynthetic pigments, a triphasic life cycle, and can reproduce sexually or asexually. Examples like Polysiphonia and Nemalion are described. - Slime molds (Myxomycota) reproduce asexually via spores or sexually through fusion. They are heterotrophic and saprophytic. - Water molds (Oomycota) are parasitic, lack chlorophyll, and can reproduce sexually or asexually. They cause diseases in plants.

    Original Description:

    Its a lab report with microscopic images obtained from the lab about kingdom protista

    Lab NO. 4
    Phylum RHODOPHYTA (Red algae)

    • Found in marine habitats


    • Absence of flagella and centrioles
    • Floridean starch as a storage
    • Pigments include chlorophyll a, xanthophylls, and phycobilins
    (phycoerythrin (red) and phycocyanins (blue)
    • Are haplo-diplonts
    • Triphasic life cycle (Alternating 2 sporophytic and 1
    gametophytic phases)
    • Biphasic (alternating sporophytic and gametophytic phases)
