Algae and Plankton

​Algae has eukaryotic cells. They can photosynthesize, meaning that they can make their own food. The cell wall of the algae contains mannans, cellulose and galatians. Algae lacks a consistent form. Algae is a very interesting organism.

There are two different types of algae. Red algae is found in marine areas and freshwater. Green algae is found in freshwater only. Blue green algae is not an algae at all. That name is very misleading.​

​Algae has the potential to change fuel forever. Scientists have recently found out that algae can be a good source to use in fuel. Biofuel can sometimes use algae to fuel cars and other machines. If this is used on a regular basis the world would be much less polluted. Algae is the key to clean fuel.
