Yes - through basic photosynthesis, like all other plants. What is remarkable about certain algae is their efficiency in doing so.

Do plant produce when they have no oxygen?
Yes, plants produce oxygen and need carbon dioxide and sunlight to produce food.
What is oxygen depletion?
When oxygen levels in water get low... When algae takes over a lake. The oxygen levels will get low.
Do microscopic ocean plants produce more oxygen than the rain forest?
Yes, they do. Algae produces alot of oxygen, and people are planning to cultivate them to grow on land, since they can grow in marshy water, and don't need fertilizer. Algae is also very healthy, and people are starting to make smoothies out of them. They have more protein than beef, and many other vitamins.
Reacts with oxygen to produce rust?
Iron reacts with oxygen to produce rust.
Most of the worlds oxygen is produced by?
Most of the worlds oxygen is produced by Trees.
Why are algae important?
No, they produce Co2 which is used for plants to breathe then the plants produce oxygen. This is wrong. Green algae produce 70 to 80% of the oxygen on earth. We would not exist without them.
Can red algae produce oxygen?
Yes
How are algae like higher plants?
Algae uses organic wastes in the water and produces oxygen. Plants produce oxygen after inhaling carbon dioxide.
Does algae produce carbon dioxide?
Algae are plants and produce oxygen from carbon dioxide when exposed to sunlight by photosynthesis. At night they produce carbon dioxide though cellular respiration.
How can algae be helpful?
They produce oxygen as well as provide food for fish that are eaten by other fish. Allowing the cycle of life to continue!
What bacterias produces oxygen?
Cyanobacteria or blue-algae are microbes that produce oxygen through the process of photosynthesis. Some scientists believe that these bacteria were the first to produce oxygen on Earth.
What were the first organisms to release oxygen into the atmosphere?
Oxygen was a waste product of the first organisms. They fed on the chemicals in the early sea, and spewed out oxygen, so much oxygen that oxygen replaced the carbon dioxide as an insulation layer. Plant today produce oxygen by photosynthesis.
What is the place with the most oxygen on earth?
The pacific ocean. Green algae in the oceans produce the majority of the Earth's oxygen. The rainforests add a much smaller amount.
What do coral colonies produce?
Many have photosynthesizing algae within their tissue that produce oxygen. Dead coral also produces the foundation on which future generations of coral will live.
What are the harmful effects in green algae?
The useful effects of algae is that it provides oxygen for various living things. Algae is also a food resource for humans and fish. Algae can become harmful if they produce toxins. Too much algae in the water can kill fish because the algae consumes a great amount of oxygen and can block the sunlight from reaching underwater.
Does algae decay and consume oxygen when they die?
When Algae runs out of the proper nutrition it needs such as phosphates and other minerals it dies. Algae then dies and starts to decay during the decaying process Algae uses oxygen which is also why fish die from lack of oxygen. So to answer this question yes Algae does decay and consume oxygen.
Does an animal produce oxygen?
The algae growing in the fur of sloths do, but the sloth itself doesn't.
