        green algae
        
        Found in fresh-water habitats
        
        It has two flagella (whip-like structures) that help it move through water.
        
        Uses:
        1.Used in scientific research as a model organism to study various biological processes such as photosynthesis, cell biology, and flagellar movement.
        Harmful Effect:
        
        Some species can contribute to the formation of ALGAL BLOOMS in fresh water bodies. These can deplete oxygen levels, harm aquatic life, and affect water quality.
    - - Volvox
        
        green algae that exist in colonies
        
        Uses:
        
        Used in scientific research to study the evolution of multicellularity and development of simple multicellular organisms.
        
        Harmful Effect:
        
        Can cause Algal Blooms
      - Fucus
        
        Brown algae found in rocky coastal areas.
        
        Uses:
        
        Used as a natural fertiliser in agriculture due to its high nutrient content.
        
        Has medicinal properties in traditional medicine for various health conditions
        
        Harmful Effect:
        
        Can impact coastal aesthetics and tourism.
      - Spirogyra
        
        Filamentous green algae found in fresh water bodies
        
        Has a unique spiral chloroplast arrangement
        
        Uses:
        
        Used in education and reasearch to demonstrate cell-structure, cell division, and the process of conjugation during reproduction
        
        Harmful Effect:
        
        Can contribute to algal blooms
