chlorophyll and accessory pigments
One substance that allows algae to harvest and make use of the energy provided by the sunlight is chlorophyll. The other is accessory pigments.
Chlorophyll is the primary pigment in algae that absorbs light energy for photosynthesis. Other pigments involved in light absorption include carotenoids and phycobilins. These pigments help algae to convert sunlight into chemical energy for growth and survival.
Algae use chlorophyll, a green pigment, to absorb sunlight and convert it into chemical energy through photosynthesis. Additionally, other pigments such as carotenoids and phycobilins help algae capture light energy across a broader range of the spectrum, allowing them to thrive in different aquatic environments.
Some algae have chloroplasts and chlorophyll and obtain their energy through photosynthesis while some algae like euglena are both heterotrophic (decompose dead organic matter) and autotrophic (use photosynthesis) and can also obtain energy likewise. Hope I helped.
Chlorophyll and accessory pigments allow algae to get energy from the sun. This is used for manufacturing of food by the algae.
Brown algae are autotrophic, meaning they can produce their own food through photosynthesis. They contain chlorophyll and other pigments that allow them to convert sunlight into energy to produce sugars.
Metallic substances have higher specific heat capacities than nonmetallic substances because metallic bonds allow for more energy to be absorbed without a large increase in temperature. This means that metallic substances can store more heat energy per unit mass compared to nonmetallic substances.

Diffusion is an impromptu process in which cells allow certain substances to pass the plasma membrane, and not use any energy to do so.
Many algae contain pigments such as chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, carotenoids, and phycobilins to absorb light at different wavelengths. These compounds allow algae to capture light energy for photosynthesis efficiently across a broad spectrum of light wavelengths in the aquatic environment.
