Bio104 Laboratory ? Student?s Guide John Jay College, C.U.N.Y Lab #5 ? Page 1 Lab #5: Green Algae, Fungi, and Lichens I. More Protista a. Continuing from last week, this will lab will explore the Domain of Eukarya. Remember that the group of organisms commonly called ?protists? is not an actual taxon ? it?s a collection of many phyla. b. Some of the protists that we will examine today are the green algae. These single-celled organisms have a common ancestor with plants, and present-day algae share many features with the ancestor of plants. All green algae are technically unicellular organisms, but some form colonies with an impressive degree of organization.
