genus (plural-genera), followed by the
uncapitalized name of the species (pluralspecies).

• Kingdom Plantae- the plant kingdom
– Algae- several groups of aquatic plants, some
of which secrete calcite or aragonite skeleton.

Kingdom Plantae
Algae
Algae are
photosynthetic
organisms that occur in
most habitats. They
vary from small, singlecelled forms to
complex multicellular
forms, such as the
giant kelps that grow to
65 meters in length..
