Does algae grow in the photic or aphotic zone?

Algae is a plant, therefore it needs light. The photic zone has light, so that is where algae will grow. actually algae are of diffrent types red, brown green and yellow. Green algae and brown algae(stipe and frond) are usually in photic zone however red algae and bluegreen algae also inhabit aphotic zone On account of presence of pigments r-phycocyanin and r-phycoerythrin red algae can also absorb diffused UV light so can also prepare food in aphotic zone


Does algae grow in the desert?

Are the single-cell algae that grow in lakes and ponds zooplankton?

No, single-cell algae that grow in lakes and ponds are not zooplankton. Zooplankton are small aquatic organisms that feed on algae and other organic matter, while single-cell algae (phytoplankton) are autotrophic and produce their own food through photosynthesis.


What are the 3 things in fertilizer that cause algae to grow?

The three main components found in fertilizer that can cause algae to grow are nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. When these nutrients are washed into water bodies, they can stimulate algae growth, leading to excessive algae blooms that can harm aquatic ecosystems.
