Algae refers to a diverse group of organisms that can produce oxygen through photosynthesis
Algae Algae is a class of creatures that are mostly aquatic, photosynthetic, and nucleus-bearing but lack the real roots, stems, leaves, and specialised multicellular reproductive systems that plants have. Their photosynthetic pigments are also more diverse than those found in plants, and their cells have unique characteristics not seen in either plants or animals. These Algae organisms aren't always connected to each other. Certain characteristics, however, link them together while separating them from the other major group of photosynthetic creatures, terrestrial plants. According to the authors of "Algae: Anatomy, Biochemistry, and Biotechnology, 2nd Edition," algae are not substantially differentiated in the same way as plants are (CRC Press, 2014). That is, they lack genuine roots, stems, and leaves, as well as a circulatory system that allows water and nutrients to move throughout their bodies. Because of these traits, the name "algae" encompasses b...
