Some of the types of algae are staghorn algae, black brush or beard algae, green spot algae, and green thread hair algae. Other types of algae are green water algae, and black green algae.
Most macroalgae (multicellular algae) are made up of three parts. The blade is a leaf-like structure that captures light and carries on photosynthesis. The stipe is the stem of the algae. The holdfast is the anchor for the algae; it holds the algae to a solid surface such as a rock or pier. Although the holdfast may look like roots, it does not function to get nutrients or water. Some algae may have a fourth structure, the pneumatocyst; this structure is an air bladder on the stipe or blade that functions to keep the algae afloat in the water column.
Most Algae are plants and as such will undergo photosynthesis in order to produce ATP which is needed for plant growth. Blue-Green Algae are not truly algae they are Prokaryote Cyanobacteria because their nucleus is not enclosed in the membrane (also undergo photosynthesis). All Algae are Eukaryotic and undergo photosynthesis.
herbivores. they most often eat red and brown algae, like the kelp that is usually an important part of their habitat.
Photosynthetic protists are also known as protistan algae. They are capable of producing their own food, an example of which are phytoplankton's.

The only place photosynthesis happens is in the chloroplast. Each plant or algae contains about 10 to 100 chloroplast.
most are plants or algae and so use photosynthesis

Because they need to be close to the surface to be able to perform photosynthesis.
