The types of Algae

There are six different types of algae.Why don't we learn about them today.First before we talk about them the most important organism because to me because most of our oxygen comes from them.

  First the most common algae is the green algae it lives in ponds usually on the surface of the water.The most important algae of all because most of our air comes from them.About 70% percent comes from algae.Here is a photo of green algae below.Before I learned about algae I thought they were useless,now I know that we could not live without them.To the far right is a picture of green algae.

  

  Now the brown algae we do yes.Brown algae is like kelp that fish eat.They have chlorophyll  and a brown pigment that gives them their color.

    Here is a picture of brown algae below this sentence to the far left.

  Red algae can also be used to make pudding to tooth paste smooth.Thank goodness you can't taste them or I'd fell sick.They also have a red pigment to help them absorb sunlight from deep in the ocean.I would of thought there would not be light down there.

To the right we have a picture of red algae.

  The  next algae were going to talk about is Dino flagellates.Wow a pretty interesting topic and word.The Dino flagellates are mean to the environment by making an alga bloom.An alga bloom is where they take over the surface and make it dark.After that they produce poison and kill marine life.The Dino flagellates also have a unique flagella to make them spin around in a circle.If they weren't used to it they would throw up.To the bottom we have a picture of red tide.

 The Eugleniods have a wiped like tail and have sensitive eyes that is named eye-spot that is sensitive to sunlight.I could not think of that much about them like the others,but lets get back to the topic.

The photo of Eugleniods to the right.

  The Diatoms their cell-membranes are made of the main substance that glass is made of.I think that the Diatoms are cool for their shiny outer layer.To the far left we have the diatom picture.
