Chlorophyceae are green algae. They have chlorophyll a and b pigments, giving them a green color.

Phaeophyceae are brown algae. They have fucoxanthin pigment, which contributes to their brown

Chlorophyceae have diverse chloroplast shapes. These include discoid, plate-like, reticulate, cup-shaped, spiral, and
