Glossary Algae

simple, photosynthetic organisms found in aquatic environments

Algae are simple, plant-like organisms that can range from microscopic single-celled forms to large seaweeds. They perform photosynthesis to produce energy, similar to plants, and are found in a variety of aquatic environments, including freshwater and marine ecosystems. Algae play a crucial role in the ecosystem by producing oxygen and serving as the base of the food chain.
