Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Heterotrophic stramenopiles that grow as a mesh of nutrient-absorbing filaments with cellulose cell walls are known as water molds. Diatoms are photosynthetic stramenopiles with silica cell walls, brown algae and kelp are multicellular photosynthetic stramenopiles with alginic acid and cellulose cell walls, and fungal molds are multicellular heterotrophic fungi.
