Give a detailed account of phylogeny and distribution pattern after algae in India?
Answers
Algae are generally classified as Rhodophyta (red algae), Phaeophyta (brown algae), Chlorophyta (green algae) Cyanophyta (Blue Green algae) and Bacillariophyta (Golden brown algae). This classification is based on the nutrients contained in them, colour and chemical make-up.
Algae vary between unicellular multi-cellular organisms with several different morphological characteristics. In India, they are found on land as well as in water and adapt to extreme environmental conditions. They play an important role in maintaining our ecosystem and are an important part of the food-chain.
Answer:
Algae are either unicellular or multi-cellular organism and in our country India they are found in water as well as in land adapting to the adverse climatic conditions.
The ecosystem is maintained greatly by them, and they play an important part in the food chain.
The colour, chemical makeup and the nutrients in the algae classify them into various groups.
