The pigments in algae are the most important part of photosynthesis. In both red algae and cyanobacteria the pigments are mostly phycobilins. These are water-soluble pigments, and are therefore found in the cytoplasm, or in the stroma of the chloroplast. They occur only in Cyanobacteria and Rhodophyta ( Red Algae)
Because these pigments absorb green, violet, and blue light --- the only part of the light spectrum that penetrates water below thwe depths of 100 m. Therefore, the red algae can live in deep water where most other seaweeds cannot thrive.
hee hee you already know
Well red algae needs to photosynthesise to stay alive, so it needs to be within the range of the sun. If it does grow deeper than other algal species it may be because it can detect light better than others.
The longevity of Red algae could be anywhere from a few hours, days, or to thousands of years. Some red algae can complete there life cycle in just a few days and then die, but many single celled filamentous algae could live forever.
Many fish eat algae, it depends on which type of algae. But the fish that do eat algae are catfish, red tailed fish, Florida flag fish, and plecos.

red eyed guinea pigs usually occur in albino guinea pigs (no pigment so its white) its not as common but i wouldn't consider it rare.
Some have a blue pigment that helps in photosynthesis. This pigment gives those cyanobacteria a blue tint. Other cyanobacteria have red pigment. Flamingos get their pink color by eating red cyanobacteria. or Cyanobacteria lives in water and these bacteria contain the green pigment chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is important to photosynthesis.
Cyanobacteria are called BLUE GREEN algae because Red,Brown,Green and Blue pigments are present in them and that's why they are termed as Red,Blue,Green and Brown algae.TAHIR SAJJAD

Cyanobacteria that grow in the shallow have a red pigment that produce the colors.
red algae can be when you scratch it and then when you scratch it to much there can be a problem!
ok, i am not sure
Cyanobacteria > Red Algae > Green Algae > Land Plants
phycoerythrin
Most algae, or seaweed contains a chloroplast that is similar to cyanobacteria. Chloroplasts are made up of circular DNA similar to those in cyanobacteria and represent reduced endosymbiotic cyanobacteria.
It absorbs more light.
They are red due to the pigment phycoerythrin found in the in the phycobilisomes atached to the thylakoid membrane.
The "algae" most people think of as algae are Cyanobacteria, *blue green algae*. By the name of the phylum you can guess that this "algae" is a bacteria, you are right. Scientifically speaking, true algae is only found in the Kingdom Protista, it is not plant, bacteria, fungi, or animal. We call Kingdom Protista the "grab bag kingdom" because it is home to the wierdest organisms that just don't fit well into other kingdoms. An example a true algae is Rhodophyta (red algae) Rhod=Red, Phyta=Algae. But to the lay person, they will mistake most Cyanobacteria for algae, and unless you are a biologist, this is just fine :)
