yep. they do
Coralline algae is classed as a red algae. Red algae is unique because it has adapted to be able to photosynthesise not only in light (producing O2) but also in darkness and at night (producing CO2). This means that coralline algae can still thrive in low light, as long as the water has a high enough oxygen content.
Most types of algae perform photosynthesis as their primary method of obtaining energy. This process involves using sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose, a form of sugar that provides the organism with necessary nutrients for growth and reproduction.
No. No viruses can photosynthesise.
Algae are neither plant nor animal, but are closer to plants in terms of their appearance. They photosynthesise, like plants, using the sun's energy to create their own 'food' inside their cells. They do not consume other organisms.
Only Producers (plants) can photosynthesise
They do not photosynthesise. They get their nutrients though their roots.
photosynthesise ends up with oxygen being released into the atmosphere

Yes. There are 4 types of chlorophyll, two of which are not green and are found in seaweeds. Coloured plants (eg purple leaves) photosynthesise. These are mostly green plants with a strong colour hiding the green. Some free-swimming single-celled aquatic organisms photosynthesise. Lichens are not technically green plants but they symbiotically contain an algae that does.

no
Phytoplankton is small plant type unicellular or simple algae. They can sense light because they photosynthesise but they do not have eye structures. Some Zooplankton have eyes as they are small animals floating in the water column.
