Here is your answer buddy.

Different species of algae may grow in different places. ... Thus green algae, which contain mainly chlorophyll a and β-carotene, usually inhabit in shallow water regions. The zonation of algae is most obvious near the coastal areas. Green algae are usually found in the upper littoral zone.

I HOPE IT WILL HELP YOU.

Answer:

Explanation:

Thus green algae, which contain mainly chlorophyll a and β-carotene, usually inhabit in shallow water regions. The zonation of algae is most obvious near the coastal areas. Green algae are usually found in the upper littoral zone.

Rarely, green algae can also be found on land, largely on rocks and trees, with some appearing on the surface of snow. They are common in areas where light is abundant, such as shallow water and tide pools, and less common in the ocean than brown and red algae, but they can be found in freshwater areas.

Chlorophyta is the largest of the eight divisions of algae. Members of the Chlorophyta, or grass-green algae are similar to higher plants being characterized by a well-defined nucleus, photosynthetic pigments localized in chloroplastids in which usually pyrenoids are present, the food reserve is commonly stored as starch, and the possession of cell walls in which cellulose is usually a clearly recognizable ingredient.

Distribution of Chlorophyta(Green Algae):

The green algae enjoy a wide range of distribution in aquatic (both fresh-water and marine) and terrestrial habitats.

Some of the fresh-water plankton forms form greenish scum on the surface of quiet, stagnant water (Volvox, Chlamydomonas, Spirogyra, Zygnema, Cosmarium) or grow firmly attached to submerged rocks, plant parts, and similar objects in free-flowing streams (Oedogonium, Cladophora, Chaetophora, Coleochaete)
