Explanation:algae are plants that lives in aquatic habitat,with a few of them occurring in land. Algae have chlorophyll and as a result are autotrophic in nutrition. Algae uses carbon dioxide as a raw material for photosynthesis which is the process where they produce food. They also give off oxygen which results from the splitting of water by light.
This oxygen given off is used by organisms for cellular respiration.the mitochondria is the organelle responsible it's utilization in respiration and carbon dioxide is given off.oxygen serves as an electron acceptor in the energy producing process in the mitochondria. It is an important gas for aerobic respiration.
