All the living things in Diaphoretickes are Eukaryotes: they are complicated cells with organelles. Most plants that make energy out of light are in Diaphoretickes.[1] Only Euglenozoa and blue-green algae are not.
The group includes:
- Archaeplastida (red algae, glaucophytes, green algae and plants)
- Cryptista
- Haptista
- SAR supergroup (stramenopiles, alveolates, and Rhizaria)
- Telonemia
In 2012, this megagroup was defined.[2]
