Any of various chiefly aquatic, eukaryotic, photosynthetic organisms, ranging in size from single-celled forms to the giant kelp. Algae were once considered to be plants but are now classified separately because they lack true roots, stems, leaves, and embryos.

What is a chloropast?
Chloroplasts are special parts of plants and algae cells. Their main roll is to conduct photosynthesis, which is how the plants/algae convert sunlight into energy.
What has the author H William Johansen written?
H. William Johansen has written: 'Coralline algae, a first synthesis' -- subject(s): Coralline algae 'Morphology and systematics of coralline algae with special reference to Calliarthron' -- subject(s): Calliarthron, Coralline algae
Why do corral live in shallow water?
Coral live in shallow waters because they have a special relationship with algae. The algae live in shallow waters and carry on photosynthesis. Algae grow inside coral. They help the coral grow and build a skeleton.
What role does the pygmy three toed sloth play in the rainforest?

Is a algae a living thing or nonliving thing?
Yes! It is a plant-like protist. Algae are organisms similar to plants.They are photosynthetic autotrophs (i.e) they are living organisms which synthesize their own food with the help of solar energy which they capture through special pigments(mainly chlorophyll) present in them
How does algae gets its food?
Algae is a plant, and just like all plants algae makes sugar from sunlight. Rays of sunlight hit the plant and provide energy to water and carbon dioxide in a special compartment called a chloroplast. This energy turns water and carbon dioxide into sugar, which feeds the plant.

What are adaptions of algae?
The red, brown, yellow and green colors of algae help them blend in with the colors of the ocean floor,so they won't be found or eaten by their predators. Algae have special cells which make these colors appear so they can better use the light energy available to them while under water for photosynthesis. Another view: It is likely that the different pigments in algae allow them to compete for different wavelengths of light, either when crowded or when in different environments. Some algae have developed holdfasts to anchor them in place.
