    What are Algae?

    Algae are eukaryotic organisms that have the ability to conduct photosynthesis. They are independently living organisms found in water bodies and can be unicellular or multicellular. They are considered primitive to plants.

    What is the structure of algae?

    • Algae have a well-defined organelle system.
    • They possess chlorophyll pigments which enable them to perform photosynthesis. So, they are Autotrophic in nature.
    • They possess a proper cell wall.
    • Their body is not divided into roots, stems, and leaves. They show an undifferentiated mass of cells that make their entire body called the Thallus.
    • They are located near water or floating on the water surface.
