Algae can be found in soil, water, even clouds; they produce over seventy percent of the earth's oxygen. Algae can live in extremely cold or hot temperatures. Algae produce photosynthesis, which is the base of ocean and freshwater food chains; without them, other water specie could not survive. Algae are important in the fight against global warming – they help remove carbon dioxide from the air we breathe.
