Algae grows on any surface where it can get enough water and sunlight. Algae are plants, and make energy from sunlight. Some places you can find algae include your fish tank, the ocean, rivers and lakes, underneath rocks, on the shady side of your house, or inside of the toilet bowl. They are pretty much everywhere.
No, but they do move so slow that algae grows on them, that is why they can have a greenish tint. The pace of their movement has nothing to do with algae growth.
I think it is because sloths are VERY slow and since there so slow algae grows on them.
A commensal relationship requires that one organism benefits from the relationship without affecting the other organism. So, in order for that to be true, the algae would have to be neutral to the sloth... not harming it or aiding it (those relationships would be defined differently). It would have to not affect it at all.
Yes , it grows .
Previous answer: "Green algae grows on sloths fur because they have beetles in their fur." Actually, the fur of most sloths is host to two species of symbiotic cyanobacteria, which may enhance their camouflage in their environment.[1][2] Because of the cyanobacteria, sloth fur is a small ecosystem of its own, hosting many species of non-parasitic insects.

A leafy algae is a type of algae that grows in ponds or aquariums. It appears tree like. It takes a lot of diligence to keep it from overgrowing and recurring.
Freshwater algae is a type of algae that only grows in lakes. It is commonly found in states like Minnesota, Michigan, New York, and Colorado.
No. A parasite is an animal or plant that lives in or on another animal or plant and gets food or protection from it. For example- mistletoe is a plant that grows in a tree, and sucks nutrients from the tree.
algae, lily pads, bulrushes and pond weed! hope i helped!
The answer is Gorilla.
Algae that clumps together and grows to huge sizes is called "kelp." Kelp is a type of large brown seaweed that can form dense underwater forests in marine ecosystems.
No but it grows on land...
Yes, algae is a plant that grows in the sea.
Algae that commonly grows on trees include green algae, mosses, lichens, and blue-green algae. These organisms can thrive on the bark of trees due to the presence of moisture, sunlight, and nutrients. Different species of algae may establish symbiotic relationships with trees or simply grow as epiphytes on the tree surface.
No, algae is not a type of moss. Algae is a diverse group of photosynthetic organisms that can range from single-celled to multicellular forms, and they are found in a variety of aquatic environments. Moss, on the other hand, is a type of non-vascular plant that typically grows in damp or shady environments like forest floors or rocks.
Red algae is a type of seaweed. This seaweed lives in warm waters.
