Species #9

Common name: Green Algae
Scientific name: Chlorophytes
Green algae contains two forms of chlorophyll which captures light energy to fuel the manufacture of sugars. Algae is a photosynthetic organism meaning it produces most of the organic nutrients for the bisphere.Therefore it produces food in freshwater and marine habitats.
My dad thinks Algae is kinda a nuisance to try and control in our swimming pool but he continues to put chemicals in to control it.
I think algae is domesticated because it is all around us and probably sometimes we don't always see it.
