Plants benefit from the presence of algae in their environment because algae can help improve soil quality by fixing nitrogen, providing essential nutrients, and promoting growth. Additionally, algae can enhance the overall health of the ecosystem by increasing biodiversity and supporting the food chain.
Green algae are considered the most closely related to green plants, as they share similar photosynthetic pigments and cell structure. The chlorophytes and charophytes groups of green algae are particularly close relatives to land plants.
The process of photosynthesis, primarily carried out by plants and algae, produces the most oxygen in the environment.
The presence of vascular tissue is not common to all green algae and land plants. Vascular tissue is a specialized system found in some land plants (such as ferns and seed plants) that helps transport water and nutrients throughout the plant. Green algae lack this feature.
The presence of water algae in a freshwater lake can impact the ecosystem by causing algal blooms, which can lead to decreased oxygen levels in the water, harm aquatic plants and animals, and disrupt the balance of the ecosystem.
Goldfish naturally are foragers and will eat both what they are provided and what they can locate in their environment, like algae or growing plants.
The sloth must be helped by the algae in some way.
Yes, if the algae belong to the Cyanophyceae and no for other groups. Because members of Cynophyceae are capable of incorporating free nitrogen from the atmosphere to make it available to other plants growing nearby.
algae and any other live plants are the producers.
No, because plants are not made up of algae
Algae IS a plant. It gets energy from the sun, not other plants.
Algae can reduce oxygen levels in water through a process called eutrophication. When there is an overgrowth of algae, it can block sunlight from reaching underwater plants, which leads to their death. As dead plants are decomposed by bacteria, oxygen is consumed in the process, resulting in lower oxygen levels in the water.
Algae lack specialized tissues like roots, stems, and leaves that are present in plants. Instead, algae have simple structures for attachment and nutrient absorption.
