They play a vital role in aquatic ecosystems by forming the energy base of the food web for all aquatic organisms. As autotrophic organisms, algae convert water and carbon dioxide to sugar through the process ofphotosynthesis.
Microscopic algae are arguably the source of more than half of the world's oxygen though photosynthesis. They turn carbon dioxide into biomass and release oxygen. Ecologically,algae are at the base of the food chain. ... The larger algae provide a habitat habitat for fish and other invertebrate animals.
