Chlamydomonas Reinhardtii is clearly a protist, as it has flagella and responds to light. Just because it has chloroplasts does not qualify it to be a plant : http://www.ruf.rice.edu/~bioslabs/studies/invertebrates/chlamydomonas.html.

Article needs more work (especially genetic aspect) in order to be understood by general public. Some info, sequencing/genome drafts/EST/cDNA is to detailed and, I believe, irrelevant. --Seb951 23:24, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Protist!?[edit]

I followed a link to this page from Chlamydomonas that stated that the Genus was in the kingdom Plantae. Now I come here and this organism is a Protist!? What!? Need clarification. Helixer (talk) 01:33, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Depends on how widely you define Plantae (different sources make different choices). This organism is in the Viridiplantae but not the Streptophyta (the latter includes the most familiar "plants", such as flowering plants, ferns, moss, etc). The best thing to say, which we already do in most of the article, is that it is a green alga. But the taxobox has to make a pick about the kingdom. I guess the best choice, given how we do things elsewhere on wikipedia, would be Plantae. Kingdon (talk) 12:12, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I ended up not using this organism in the project that I needed a protist for, but whatev. When looking up other protists on other places (ask me for a specific website cause the URl has brackets in it which screws up the formatting), for taxonomic reference there were kingdoms like Protozoa. Did the place splice Protista into different kingdoms? I also found on the Protist page it says that Protista isn't generally recognized as a kingdom anymore. Is that true!? Cause then I need to tell my bio. teacher!!! Helixer (talk) 20:42, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
