Occurrence and Habitat of Algae
- Algae can be found in various habitats, including:
- Hydrophytes: submerged or free-floating on the surface of water
- Epiphytes: growing on other plants
- Epizoophytes: growing on animals such as mollusks, shells, fish, and turtles
Five Kingdom Classification
- The five kingdoms of classification are:
- Monera
- Protista
- Fungi
- Plantae
- Animalia
Modern Classification of Algae
- Modern classification of algae is based on:
- Pigments: kinds and relative amounts
- Other criteria, including:
- Physiological and biochemical characteristics (thanks to modern techniques)
- Electron microscopy (EM) observations
- Laboratory culturing of algae
Distribution of Algae
- Algae can be found in:
- Fresh water: abundantly in ponds, lakes, slow-running streams, and water reservoirs
- Salt water: in marine environments
