PPT-Algae An alga ( singular for algae

is a plantlike organism that uses sunlight to produce energy in a process called photosynthesis Algae are extremely important organisms because they are considered to be the primary oxygenproducing organisms on Earth. Algae Algae have been used in animal and human diets since very early times Filamentous algae are usually considered as macrophytes since they often form floating masses that can be easily harvested although many c kelp forest.
