What organisms in the ocean absorb the most carbon dixoide?
Algae and marine plants
Are algae herbivores?
No, algae are photosynthetic, they don't 'eat' anything so they can't be a herbivore, carnivore or an omnivore, they just absorb nutrients from the water.

What compound do many algae have to help them absorb light at different wavelengths?
Accessory pigments
Why red and brown algae are able to live at greater depths in the ocean?
The answer to this question is because of the efficiency of different pigments to absorb light of different wavelengths. For example, the pigment in red algae can absorb blue-green light that penetrates to greater depths.
Why is it easy for algae to absorb water?
It is easy for algae to absorb water because they live in water and their spores which helps in the absorption of water. Algae also easily absorb water because they do not compete with agriculture.
In what ways did land plants need to be different from green algae?

What different kinds of algae are there?
There are lots of different kinds ofo algae. There are Chlorophytes (green algae) Rhodophytes (red algae), chrysophyta ( golden/brown algae) and lots more!
Plants and algae are remarkable in that they can make all the organic compounds they?
c.G3P molecules.
