  • The position of green algae is more ambiguous.
  • Green algae include unicellular and colonial flagellates, most with two flagella per cell, as well as various colonial, coccoid, and filamentous forms, along with macroscopic seaweeds, all of which add to the ambiguity of green algae classification since plants are multicellular.
  • Both green algae and land plants also store carbohydrates as starch.
  • The Charophyta are a division of green algae that includes the closest relatives of the embryophyte plants .

• Green's Theorem

  • Green's theorem gives relationship between a line integral around closed curve $C$ and a double integral over plane region $D$ bounded by $C$.
  • Green's theorem is a special case of the Kelvin–Stokes theorem, when applied to a region in the $xy$-plane.
  • Considering only two-dimensional vector fields, Green's theorem is equivalent to the two-dimensional version of the divergence theorem.
  • Green's theorem can be used to compute area by line integral.
  • Explain the relationship between the Green's theorem, the Kelvin–Stokes theorem, and the divergence theorem

• Archaeplastida

  • Red algae and green algae are included in the supergroup Archaeplastida.
  • The red and green algae include unicellular, multicellular, and colonial forms
  • The most abundant group of algae is the green algae.
  • The green algae are subdivided into the chlorophytes and the charophytes.

• Introduction to the Perils of Greenwashing

  • In the spring of 2007, TerraChoice Environmental Marketing (a green-certification organization) sent researchers into six national retail businesses to gather data about ‘green' products.
  • Astonishingly, only one product turned out to be truly green – a paper product from Canada.
  • Not revealing hidden trade-offs. 57% of the misleading claims made by manufacturers involved suggesting that the entire product was green when, in fact, the green aspect being promoted represented only a part of the product.
  • Irrelevant claims. 4% of the green claims turned out to be true, yet were of no real value.
  • Promoting the green side of hazardous products.

• Separating the wheat from the chaff

  • With so much room for abuse, people and businesses wishing to partake in green or carbon offset programs are encouraged to investigate all claims before handing over any cash.
  • If a company's claims seem too good to be true they probably are (particularly if the company is situated in a traditionally non-green industry or its product portfolio is filled with goods that aren't green).
  • Do some research before buying into any green claim.
  • To avoid falling victim to this practice, investigate the longevity and success of a company's previous green projects as a way to help predict the feasibility of new ones.
  • To determine if a company is truly turning green, see if it operates under different standards in different countries that have little or no regulation.
