Algae are not plants, animals or fungi. They belong to Kingdom Protista, a diverse group of single-celled eukaryotes.
Protists have their own kingdom because many species share some characteristics of plants, animals or fungi.
Algae belong to the group of plant-like protists.
They are autotrophs that fulfill the role of producer in ecosystems because they make their own food via photosynthesis, like plants.

<u>Answer</u>: Natural selection.
<u>Explanation</u>:
- The concept of <em>natural selection</em> was given by <em>Charles Darwin.</em>
- According to this concept, in a given environment the organisms that possess <em>better adaptations</em> have<em> higher chances of survival</em> and, leave behind a <em>greater number of progenies</em>.
- When malaria outbreak occurs, the allele frequencies change and only the organisms that possess the alleles which help them to <em>survive</em> this outbreak due to resistance against malarial infection will be selected by nature and<em> hence, this is an example of natural selection.</em>
Baboons, sparrows, and human beings are considered both primary and higher order consumers because they all eat plants and meat.
Primary consumers feed on producers/ plants. Then secondary consumers feed on primary consumers.
