Algae ( or ; singular alga, Latin for " seaweed ") are a very large and diverse group of simple, typically autotrophic organisms, ranging from unicellular to multicellular forms, such as the giant kelps that grow to 65 meters in length.

Algae are a very important source of food for aquatic life, but at the same time, if they become over-abundant, they can cause declines in fish when they decay.

Algae with complex plastids derived by secondary endosymbiosis of a red alga include the heterokonts, haptophytes, cryptomonads, and most dinoflagellates (= rhodoplasts ).

Thuret spent a great part of his time, up to 1857, on the Atlantic coast of France, carrying out an intense observation of marine Algae in their natural habitat at all seasons.

Algae exhibit a wide range of reproductive strategies, from simple, asexual cell division to complex forms of sexual reproduction.

Algae use solar energy to generate biomass from carbon dioxide and are possibly the most important autotrophic organisms in aquatic environments.

Algae blooms regularly afflict the lake due to high phosphate levels from runoff.

Upon meeting a delegation from the Cylons ( Gaius Baltar, a Brother Cavil, a Number 3 and Boomer ), after discovering the " Temple of the Five ," on the " Algae Planet ," Roslin's theft of the hybrid baby Hera is revealed.

Algae and mosses, along with higher plants and some insects, often trap tiny particles within their sinuous roots, fronds, and shelter / feeding structures, acting as nucleation points for further precipitation.

Algae manufacturing is an intensive science and Parry's plant at Oonaiyur, with its raceways for organic spirulina, and the marine algae manufacturing facility at Chittarkottai are unique and the first of their kind in the world.

For this reason, aquarium hobbyists have begun using chaeto or an Algae scrubber instead.

Algae can grow as single cells, or in long chains of cells.

Algae are the basis of the open water food web, and the source of primary production that ends up as Lake Trout and Walleye at the top of the open water food web.

Algae also use chlorophyll, but various other pigments are present as phycocyanin, carotenes, and xanthophylls in green algae, phycoerythrin in red algae ( rhodophytes ) and fucoxanthin in brown algae and diatoms resulting in a wide variety of colors.

Algae tend to grow very quickly under high nutrient availability, but each alga is short-lived, and the result is a high concentration of dead organic matter which starts to decay.

Algae are important plants as primary producers in aquatic ecosystems.

Although R. K. Greville published his Algae Britannicae as early as 1830, it was not until 1902 with the publication of A Catalogue of the British Marine Algae by Edward Arthur Lionel Batters that the systematic correlation of records, extensive distribution mapping and the development of identification keys began in earnest.

This was followed in the 1950s by the development of area checklists, led by Mary W. Parke with her 1931 Manx Algae and followed in 1953 by her " A preliminary check-list of British marine algae " Although Lily Newton's 1931 Handbook provided the first identification key for the algae of the British Isles, it wasn't until the 1960s that the development of such keys became routine.

A unit of Univenture, Algae Venture Systems, recently made a breakthrough by developing a process to produce algae as a cost-effective biofuel.

Algae are diverse water plants that can vary in size, color, and shape.

Algae occur naturally in habitats such as inland lakes, inter-tidal zones, and damp soil and provide a dedicated food source for animals, fish, and invertebrates.
