State
Archaeplastida is defined by descent from the primary endosymbiotic event that produced chloroplasts; its members include red algae, green algae, and land plants.
Show
Red algae store carbohydrates in the cytoplasm and lack flagella; green algae store carbohydrates in the plastid, resembling land plants.
Watch for
Archaeplastida's defining trait is chloroplast ancestry, not one life cycle — members range from unicellular algae to giant seaweeds.
