Answer:

What Are Green Algae

Green algae or Chlorophyta are the green color algae in both freshwater and marine habitats. In addition, some of the green algae live in the moist soil. The three types of cellular organization patterns in green algae are unicellular, colonial or multicellular.

Generally, the unicellular forms of green algae including Chlamydomonas contain flagella for their motility. Volvox and Hydrodictyon are the colonial forms of green algae. Some green algae such as Chlorella are non-motile.

What are Red Algae

Red algae or Rhodophyta are one of the three types of seaweeds with brilliant red color. This red color is due to the presence of phycoerythrin, a type of photosynthetic pigment. In addition, red algae contain chlorophyll a, chlorophyll d, β-carotene, and phycocyanin. Moreover, red algae can grow in the deeper sea in contrast to brown and green algae. It is due to their ability to absorb blue light.

Also, a group of red algae known as coralline algae is important in the formation of coral reefs. Furthermore, red algae are used in some of the Asian cuisines as food additives.

What are Brown Algae

Brown algae or Phaeophyta (‘dusky plants’) are the largest types of seaweeds. They have a characteristic brown to yellow color due to the presence of a unique combination of photosynthetic pigments including chlorophyll a, chlorophyll c, fucoxanthin, β-carotene, and xanthophylls. Generally, brown algae are exclusively marine and found in the temperate and arctic waters.

Significantly, brown algae develop a root-like structure called holdfast, anchoring the plant to the substrate. Also, brown algae form a giant kelp forest near the California coat and floating kelp beds in the Sargasso Sea

Blue - green algae - Blue-green algae are actually types of bacteria known as Cyanobacteria. They normally look green and sometimes may turn bluish when scums are dying.

Taste and odour problems commonly occur with large concentrations of blue-green algae and some species are capable of producing toxins.
