Algae are protists or plantae

Can anybody please mention clearly which one is more applicable Rituraj6868nnun (talk) 08:17, 29 April 2021 (UTC)

Neither really, it is awfully complicated and you would be best off reading and understanding the three relevant articles. Since land plants arose from within the green algae and share a common ancestor with them, many now argue that land plants are in fact green algae, though there is still an inconveniently contrasting point of view that green algae are not plants, and that Plantae started with the Embryophyte's transition to land. Algae are not all related. Certainly there are groups of algae (e.g. brown algae) that are not related either to green algae or to plants. Protists don't form a clade with plants or green algae either, so it is no longer regarded as useful as a formal grouping.Plantsurfer 15:51, 29 April 2021 (UTC)

Change to: "most lichen are comprised of 3 organismd"

Specifically two fungal one bacterial,archea, or algel. This is new information. Easy to find.

The current article states this is "rare", but that's not true, its most common. 78.54.132.122 (talk) 13:47, 1 December 2022 (UTC)talonxpool

Words

"Photosynthetic," to me, denotes artificiality. I think the sentences employing such semantics should be restructured to adequately and accurately inclusive concepts. 2600:1012:B106:3A59:845E:3AC5:EAA4:CB4 (talk) 07:28, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

"Photosynthetic" is the adjective formed from "photosynthesis" (see e.g. here, so means "relating to photosynthesis". A "photosynthetic organism" is one that is capable of photosynthesis. So it does not have anything to do with "artificiality". Peter coxhead (talk) 11:57, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
