Green algae

Green algae, members of the division Chlorophyta, comprise between 9,000 and 12,000 species. Like plants, green algae contain two forms of chlorophyll, which they use to capture light energy to fuel the manufacture of sugars, but unlike plants they are primarily aquatic (Canon EOS 700D).
