The document defines the division Chlorophyta of green algae, noting it contains about 7,000 species of aquatic photosynthetic organisms and shares characteristics with land plants like chloroplasts and cellulose cell walls. It also defines the two clades of Viridiplantae - Chlorophytes and Streptophytes. The taxonomy section lists the taxonomic ranks for Udoteaceae. Habitat details note they are mostly found in marine waters in the central Indo

    Definition of chlorophyta
    Chlorophyta is a division of green algae, called chlorophytes.
    In older classification systems, it refers to a highly paraphyletic group of
    all the green algae within the green plants (Viridiplantae) that includes
    about 7,000 species of aquatic photosynthetic eukaryotic organisms.
    Green algae consider as ancestor of present living plant (higher plant):
    common characteristic between green algae and land plants.
    i.
    Same photosynthetic pigments: chlorophyll a & b
    ii.
    Storage product: starch
    iii.
    Starch stored: inside chloroplast
    iv.
    Thylakoids stacked (lamellae)
    v.
    Major cell wall component: cellulose

    Definition of chlorophyta
    In newer classifications, it refers to one of the
    two clades making up the Viridiplantae,
    I. Chlorophytes
    II. Streptophytes
    a)
    Charophycea
    b)
    Embryophcea
    ) In this sense the Chlorophyta includes only about 4,300
    species.

    Importance

    The Gymnocodiaceae (red algae) and fossil Udoteacea (erect) are similar
    to each other both in growth form and in vegetative structure.

    Differences only containing internal reproductive organ which are absent


    in Udoteacea.

    Both are important groups of calcareous algae.
