How is energy made out of algae?

Question

Strange question. But I saw that energy can be an alternative fuel source. And with all my fish, I know I can grow algae.

Answer 1

Algae can be converted into biodiesel OR ethanol. it's basically raw petrochemical stock. You'll need sunlight and nutrients to make it work.

Answer 2

Algae is autotrophic and they can either be a plant or a protist. They get their energy directly from sunlight, and they have mitochondrias, when engulfed they provide energy.
