unicellular algae description
- contain chlorophyll and carry out photosynthesis = autotrophic
- accessory pigments help absorb light, give algae a variety of colours
euglenophytes
=krásnoočka
- autotrophs when sunny
- heterotrophs when dark
- unicellular
- found mostly in fresh water
- some have flagellum
chrysophytes
= zlativky
= golden algae, fresh water
- with flagella
- facultatively heterotrophic (lack of light)
- forms: free swimming, filamentous, colonial
diatoms
= rozsivky
- unicellular
- glasslike cell walls
- used in toothpastes, scouring products, and as filters (swimming pools)
dinoflagellates
= obrněnky
- unicellular
- covered in stiff plates
- have 2 flagella
- may glow in the dark
- found in the ocean
multicellular algae description
- relatively simple aquatic organisms
- able to photosynthesis (produce oxygen)
- dont have leaves, roots, flowers. vascular tissue - have phyla
- live in damp places (fresh and saline water), but can endure dryness and other conditions in symbiosis with a fungus as lichen
- contain chlorophyll-a and other photosynthetic pigments

multicellular algae are
relatively simple aquatic organisms
multicellular algae are able to
photosynthesize - produce oxygen
multicellular algae dont have
roots, flowers, vascular tissue - have phyla
multicellular algae live in
damp places(fresh and saline water), but can endure dryness and other conditions in symbiosis with a fungus as lichen
damp places
slightly wet, moist - vlhký
multicellular algae contain
chlorophyll-a and other photosynthetic pigments
importance of algae
- free floating phytoplankton provide the food base for most marine food chains
- some are used as human food
- harvested for useful substances such as agar or fertilizer
