Algae

Description: Algae are simple non-flowering plants that belong to a broad group of photosynthetic organisms, found in both aquatic and terrestrial environments. These organisms, which range in size from microscopic to large seaweeds like kelp, are fundamental to aquatic ecosystems. Algae are characterized by their ability to perform photosynthesis, using sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into energy, making them primary producers in the food chain. Additionally, they exhibit great diversity in terms of morphology and physiology, including green, red, and brown algae, each with unique characteristics that allow them to adapt to different habitats. Their ecological importance is notable, as they not only produce oxygen but also serve as habitat and food for a variety of marine organisms. Algae are an essential component of biodiversity and play a crucial role in regulating biogeochemical cycles in oceans and other water bodies.
