Field Notes

Description:

The term "algae" covers many different organisms capable of producing oxygen through photosynthesis (the process of harvesting light energy from the sun to generate carbohydrates). These organisms are not necessarily closely related. However, certain features unite them, while distinguishing them from the other major group of photosynthetic organisms: the land plants.

Habitat:

A small pond on a walking trail at O.O. McIntyre Park in Southeastern Ohio.
