Answer 1

Bacteria (singular:bacterium) are single celled micro-organisms that belong to the group of Prokaryotics. Algae (singular: alga) are Eukaryotic organisms (unicellular or multi-cellular) that contain chlorophyll and carry out the process of photosynthesis.




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.



 They are photosynthetic and aquatic, cyanobacteria are often called "blue-green algae". ... Cyanobacteria are relatives of the bacteria, not eukaryotes, and it is only the chloroplast in eukaryotic algae to which the cyanobacteria are related.


Other names of blue green algae are:-

Myxophyta, cyanobacteria, cyanobacterium, cyanophyta, cyanophyte.
