Green algae are a large group of photosynthetic organisms ranging from single-celled forms to complex seaweeds.
They contain the same pigments as land plants—chlorophylls a and b—giving them their characteristic color.
Found in freshwater, marine, and terrestrial environments, green algae are considered ancestors of all land plants.
