Chlorophytes are eukaryotic organisms composed of cells with a variety of coverings or walls, and usually a single green chloroplast in each cell. [4] They are structurally diverse: most groups of chlorophytes are unicellular, such as the earliest-diverging prasinophytes, but in two major classes (Chlorophyceae and Ulvophyceae) there is an evolutionary trend toward various types of complex ...
Cladophora exist in multiple ecosystems which include both tropical and moderate climates, freshwater, wastewater, and marine water ecosystems, and in multiple biomes which include lakes, ponds, dam reservoirs, large rivers and the coastal littoral zones as well as in areas of oceanic depth (which determines temperatures and light availability ...
Water-borne diseases are also present as our drinking waters can be contaminated by cyanotoxins. If the HAB event results in a high enough concentration of algae the water may become discoloured or murky, varying in colour from purple to almost pink, normally being red or green. Not all algal blooms are dense enough to cause water discolouration.

The pelagic food web, showing the central involvement of marine microorganisms in how the ocean imports nutrients from and then exports them back to the atmosphere and ocean floor. A marine food web is a food web of marine life. At the base of the ocean food web are single-celled algae and other plant-like organisms known as phytoplankton.
The Mediterranean diet focuses on the quality of the food and, unlike other diets, is more of a way of eating and a lifestyle approach rather than a restrictive diet. Moderation is key with this ...
As a vegan of 13 years, Christina Soteriou, a chef and recipe developer based in London, has learned how to add plant-based protein to her meals in quick, simple ways.
Algae that are carried passively by water are plankton, specifically phytoplankton. Algae constitute a polyphyletic group [ 4 ] since they do not include a common ancestor , and although their chlorophyll -bearing plastids seem to have a single origin (from symbiogenesis with cyanobacteria ), [ 5 ] they were acquired in different ways.
