➢ Algae are photosynthetic organisms that convert sunlight into chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis. ➢ They can be found in diverse habitats, including marine, freshwater, and terrestrial environments. ➢ Algae exhibit a wide range of sizes and forms, ranging from microscopic unicellular species to large multicellular organisms. ➢ They possess chloroplasts, specialized organelles responsible for photosynthesis, which contain pigments like chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and various accessory pigments.
➢ Algae can have different colorations due to the presence of different pigments, such as green, red, brown, or blue-green. ➢ Algae exhibit a great diversity of cell structures, including both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. ➢ They have cell walls made up of various substances, such as cellulose, pectin, silica, or calcium carbonate. ➢ Algae reproduce through both sexual and asexual methods. Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of gametes, while asexual reproduction occurs through production of spores.
