Question

Do the slimy patches found on ponds or stagnant water bodies perform photosynthesis? Give reason for the answer​

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

You often see slimy, green patches in ponds or in other stagnant water bodies. These are generally formed by the growth of organisms called algae. Can you guess why algae are green in colour? They contain chlorophyll which gives them the green colour. Algae can also prepare their own food by photosynthesis
