Algae is a primitive form of life, a single-celled or simple multiple-celled organism that is able to conduct the process of photosynthesis.

Blue-green algae, or Cyanophyta, can grow at very high temperatures and under high-intensity light. This type of algae is the oldest form of life with photosynthetic capabilities. Fossilized remains of 10 blue-green algae more than 3.4 billion years old have been found in parts of Africa.
Green algae, or Chlorophyta, is generally found in fresh water. It reproduces on the surfaces of enclosed bodies of water such as ponds 15 or lakes and has the appearance of a fuzzy green coating on the surface of the water.
Brown algae, or Phaeophyta, grows in shallow, temperate water. This type of algae is the largest in size and is most recognizable 20 as a type of seaweed. Its long stalks can be enmeshed on the ocean floor, or it can float freely on the ocean's surface.
Red algae, or Rhodophyta, is a small, delicate organism found in the deep waters of the subtropics. This type of algae has an essential role 25 in the formation of coral reefs: it secretes lime from the seawater to foster the formation of limestone deposits.
