Phylum Chrysophyta: store food as oil, most photosynthetic, yellow-brown pigments, aquatic, most unicellular. Phylum Bacillarophyta: diatoms, have glass cell walls, live in salt and fresh water, all photosynthetic, Phylum Chlorophyta: these are the typical green algae you find in the ocean or in a pond, both uni and multicellular, pigments similar to regular plants, store food as starch.
