Algae

Algae (alga) are any of a large and diverse group of photosynthetic, eukaryotic organisms.

Algal bloom

An algal bloom or algae bloom is a rapid increase or accumulation in the population of algae in freshwater or marine water systems.

Chalk

Chalk is a soft, white, porous, sedimentary carbonate rock.

Clade

In biological phylogenetics, a clade, also known as a monophyletic group or natural group, is a grouping of organisms that are monophyletic – that is, composed of a common ancestor and all its lineal descendants – on a phylogenetic tree.

Class (biology)

In biological classification, class (classis) is a taxonomic rank, as well as a taxonomic unit, a taxon, in that rank.

See Haptophyte and Class (biology)

Coccolith

Coccoliths are individual plates or scales of calcium carbonate formed by coccolithophores (single-celled phytoplankton such as Emiliania huxleyi) and cover the cell surface arranged in the form of a spherical shell, called a coccosphere.

Coccolithales

Coccolithales is an order of Haptophyceae.

See Haptophyte and Coccolithales

Coccolithophore

Coccolithophores, or coccolithophorids, are single-celled organisms which are part of the phytoplankton, the autotrophic (self-feeding) component of the plankton community.

See Haptophyte and Coccolithophore

Crista

A crista (cristae) is a fold in the inner membrane of a mitochondrion.

See Haptophyte and Crista

Cryptomonad

The cryptomonads (or cryptophytes) are a group of algae, most of which have plastids.

See Haptophyte and Cryptomonad

Docosahexaenoic acid

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is an omega-3 fatty acid that is an important component of the human brain, cerebral cortex, skin, and retina.

See Haptophyte and Docosahexaenoic acid

Flagellum

A flagellum (flagella) (Latin for 'whip' or 'scourge') is a hairlike appendage that protrudes from certain plant and animal sperm cells, from fungal spores (zoospores), and from a wide range of microorganisms to provide motility.

See Haptophyte and Flagellum

Golden algae

The Chrysophyceae, usually called chrysophytes, chrysomonads, golden-brown algae or golden algae, are a large group of algae, found mostly in freshwater.
