Not an Algae

Blue-green algae 

• Blue-green algae were once among the most well-known types of algae. Blue-green algae, on the other hand, are prokaryotes and are not currently classified as algae (because all algae are classified as eukaryotic organisms).
• These organisms, also known as cyanobacteria, live in moist or aquatic environments, similar to other algae.
• Dams, rivers, reservoirs, creeks, lakes, and oceans are examples of these. This type of bacteria obtains energy through the process of photosynthesis.
• Some blue-green algae species are important to the environment because they fix nitrogen in the soil. As a result, these are also known as nitrogen-fixing bacteria.
• Other types of blue-green algae, on the other hand, can be toxic to humans. They can be neurotoxic (causes paralysis in the respiratory or nervous systems) or hepatotoxic (causes the liver to fail).
• Furthermore, some can serve as environmental health indicators, indicating the extent of pollution.
• For example, Nostoc, Anabaena, and others.

Algae Biofuel 

• Algae can now be used as a fuel source thanks to recent advances in science and technology.
• Global demand for petroleum products, combined with deteriorating environmental health, has prompted the use of environmentally friendly alternatives such as algal biofuel.
• As a result, algae fuel is becoming a more viable alternative to traditional fossil fuels. It is used in the manufacture of everything from “green” diesel to “green” jet fuel. It is comparable to other biofuels derived from corn and sugar cane.

Algae, bryophytes, pteridophytes, gymnosperms, and angiosperms are all members of the plant kingdom. The first land plants appeared around 470 million years ago, and a spectacular amount of plant biodiversity has evolved over the aeons.

The plant kingdom is thought to play one of the most important roles in human life. Human survival would be impossible without the existence of plants. It is an open secret that plants are the primary source of the various vital components required for the survival of life on Earth.

The most important component is oxygen, without which most species would become extinct. This oxygen is released by plants during the photosynthesis process, in which green plants use the energy obtained from sunlight to help convert carbon dioxide into oxygen. This oxygen that humans have access to is critical for breathing and survival.
