  3. Algae (or ; singular alga , Latin for "seaweed") are a 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. ...
  4. (Algae (programming language)) Algae is an interpreted programming language for numerical analysis, a branch of mathematics. Its interactive interpreter is available under GPL. The language and its implementation were designed by Scott Hunziker and Mike Brennan starting in 1994.
  5. Any of many aquatic photosynthetic organisms, whose size ranges from a single cell to giant kelps and whose form is very diverse; some are eukaryotic and some prokaryotic; includes the seaweeds
  6. (Algae) class of almost exclusively aquatic plants including seaweeds and their fresh-water allies. They range in size from single cell forms to giant seaweeds several metres long.
  7. (ALGAE) Over 20,000 species known to man!  Algae may form on your pool surfaces or it may bloom in suspension.  We typically know algae to be green, but it may also be yellow (mustard algae), black, blue-green or any shade in between.  It may form separate spots, or seem to grow in sheets. ...
  8. (Algae) Microorganisms that may grow to colonies in damp environments, including certain rooftops. They can discolor shingles. Often described as “fungus.”
  9. (Algae) Rooftop fungus that can leave dark stains on roofing.
  10. (algae) Single-celled or simple multi-celled organisms, commonly found in surface water, which produce their own food through photosynthesis. Excessive algae growth may cause the water to have undesirable odors or tastes and decay of algae can deplete the oxygen in the water.
  11. (Algae) Microscopic plant-like organisms that contain chlorophyll. Algae are nourished by carbon dioxide (CO2) and use sunlight to carry out photosynthesis. It is introduced by rain or wind and grows in colonies producing nuisance masses. ...
  12. (algae) Simple plant organism (typically a single cell) commonly found in water.
  13. (algae) Small primitive plants containing chlorophyll commonly found in surface water.  Excessive growths may create taste and odor problems and consume dissolved oxygen during decay.
  14. (algae) Simple rootless plants that grow in sunlit waters in relative proportion to the amounts of nutrients available. They can affect water quality adversely by lowering the dissolved oxygen in the water. They are food for fish and small aquatic animals.
  15. (Algae) Microscopic aquatic plant life which can grow on spa surfaces or float in the water. Although harmless to bathers, algae discolors the water and indicates improper sanitization.
  16. (algae) n. a wide variety of tiny, often microscopic, plants (or plant-like organisms) that live both in water and on land. alga - singular. More information.

  18. (Algae) Microscopic forms of plant life, which can enter the pool or spa.  There are numerous varieties-some are free floating, others grow on walls and surfaces.
  19. (Algae) Microscopic plants that contain chlorophyll and either floating or suspended in water. They may also be attached to structures, rocks or other submerged surfaces.
  20. Algae are primitive plants, usually aquatic, capable of synthesising their own food by photosynthesis. Algae is currently being investigated as a possible feedstock for producing biodiesel
