Algae primarily grow in water, often floating on the surface or suspended within the water column, depending on the species and environmental conditions. Some types, like phytoplankton, thrive in the upper layers of water where light is abundant, while others, such as benthic algae, attach to substrates on the bottom. Overall, their growth can occur both on the surface and beneath the water, depending on the specific habitat and light availability.

Why is algae no longer classed as a plant?
Algae is no longer classified as a plant because it lacks true roots, stems, and leaves, which are defining characteristics of plants. Algae also have simpler reproductive structures and lack specialized tissues found in plants. Taxonomists have grouped algae into their own distinct kingdom, separate from plants, due to these differences.
What is algae's locomotion?
Algae float on the top of water and use photosynthesis. They all are producers and create glucose and oxygen.
What is the green stuff that floats on top of still water?

It floats on top of the water, so it can have sunlight. The green is the chlorophyll that helps to turn sunlight into food. It also has lysosomes that can expel water from the cell to keep it from bursting.
How big can a lily pad grow?
Lilies are often the focal point of most ponds. They are very hardy. The larger varieties are planted so that there is 12" to 24" of water over the top of the pot and the smaller varieties under 6" to 18" of water. The uniqueness of lilies is their ability for the pads to grow to the top of the water surface no matter the depth.
What tiny organisms live in the top layer of water?

Can pullotion kill green algae?
No, pollution of the water is what causes the green algae. When extra nutrients such as pesticides, runoff, & human/animal waste are added to the water, it in a matter of speaking, makes the algae go nuts. The algae starts to grow in vast, huge amounts. The algae clouds the top of the water, blocking the sunlight that all the plants and animals need. When the algae dies it covers the grass beds and destroys the aquatic plants and animals' habitats. The only real way to stop the algae is to quit polluting the bays. oceans, rivers, etc.
Why do algae have to float on top of the water?
Algae do not necessarily have to float on top of the water. Some species of algae have adapted to their environment and actually live underwater so they do not have the risk of drying out. The surface algae though floats because it is not very dense (tightly packed) so it has air bubbles that allows it to float.
