00:01 So this is a six -part question regarding algae.

00:04 So we'll answer them one by one.

00:06 So first we have to name the characteristics shared by both plants and animals.

00:10 The common characteristic is presence of photosynthetic pigments.

00:17 So photosynthetic pigment is chlorophyll.

00:20 It is present both in plants and algae.

00:23 And also they are both autotrophs.

00:27 Hence they are all producers in.

00:30 The food chain.

00:31 So this is the character shared by all the plants and algae.

00:38 So this is the answer to the first question.

00:40 Let's go to the second question.

00:44 The two reasons why algae are beneficial.

00:46 They reduce the carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere or they reduce the carbon dioxide content in air and also they can produce biofuels.

01:04 Biofuel production is essential to reduce fossil fuel consumption.

01:10 So in case of depletion of fossil fuels, biofuels can help us survive those conditions.

01:16 Biofuel production is also a important category of function or important benefit of algae to the environment.

01:26 So let's go to the third question...
