Algae are unicellular plants- and so they make their own food by photosynthesis. i won't highlight all the biochemistry in detail, but the following equation sums up the reaction:
6H2O + 6CO2 (+ Sunlight) = 6O2 + C6H12O6
The equation above states that water and carbon dioxide are converted into glucose( the plant's food) and oxygen as a waste product- using light energy to drive the reaction.

∙ 11y agoplant use sunlight's energy to turn water and CO2 and water to create glucosse (sugar ) and O2 ( oxygen ) that's realeased and its strart over and over

How does golden algae feed?
golden algae does not feed, it only grows with the amount of water.
Does algae get their energy from the sun?
yes of course
Are algae decomposers?
Algae and other plants make their own food from sunlight, so they are producers.
Is the growth of algae in ocean water limited by their need for carbon dioxide and sunlight?
Yes. The growth of algae in ocean water is limited by their need for carbon dioxide and sunlight.
What does ramshorn snail feed on?
Romaine Lettuce, Spinach, Algae, and Algae Tabs
What does algae?
What algae will consume depends on the particular species of algae, whether autotrophic, heterotrophic, or mixotrophic, and the conditions it is in. Photoautotrophic algae (plant-like algae) mostly need sunlight, Nitrogen, Potassium, and Phosphorus as well as water and CO2. Other species are able to survive without sunlight and others feed on bacteria and sugars instead of making their own sugars. Sometimes even photoautotrophic and heterotrophic algae if in lack of O2, they can no longer respirate so they go into anaerobic respiration and ferment.
Where does plants and algae get there energy from?
They Get it from sunlight.
Is a producer in the food chain the sunlight algae tadpole or duck?
sunlight
Do bee's ever feed off of algae?
No, bees don't feed off algae.
Why can't green algae survive in deep water?
Marine algae are photosynthetic. At depths below 200m there is very little sunlight which would make photosynthesis extremely difficult.
How does golden algae feed?
golden algae does not feed, it only grows with the amount of water.
Does algae get their energy from the sun?
yes of course
What causes algae to die?
Lack of sunlight or nutrients. Algae is essentially a type of plant. Think about typical household plants, if they don't have water, soil, or sunlight, they will die. But algae, unlike household plants, typically live in a body of water, so a lack of water normally is not a cause of death for them. Normally, algae die because there is not enough sunlight or nutrients, possibly because of an algae bloom (too much algae that use up sunlight and nutrients).
Who is a consumer sunlight algae tadpole duck?
Sunlight, obviously; it will consume us all.
What does a water snail eat?
They eat by pressing on the Algee or what ever they are eating some eat Algee or fresh water plants but before u feed your snail u should find out what kind of snail u have and where u should keep it and what temperature u should keep it at so find out what it eats before u feed
Why aren't marine algae found at depths of below 200 m?
Algae depend on sunlight to carry out photosynthesis. There is not enough sunlight below 200 meters.
Are algae decomposers?
Algae and other plants make their own food from sunlight, so they are producers.
