Like microalgae, macroalgae (seaweeds) can be regarded as marine protists since they are not true plants. But they are not microorganisms, so they are not within the scope of this article. Unicellular organisms are usually microscopic, less than one tenth of a millimeter long. There are exceptions.

Many of the protist species classified into the supergroup Excavata are asymmetrical, single-celled organisms with a feeding groove “excavated” from one side. This supergroup includes heterotrophic predators, photosynthetic species, and parasites. Its subgroups are the diplomonads, parabasalids, and euglenozoans.

Jul 31, 2022 · Golden algae are found in both freshwater and marine environments, where they form a major part of the plankton community. The brown algae are primarily marine, multicellular organisms that are known colloquially as seaweeds. Giant kelps are a type of brown algae.
Aug 1, 2018 · Microalgae grow in any water habitat, whereas most macroalgae species can be found in the marine environment. Algae due to its diversity use different components of light spectra and the diversity of algae species are attributed to the presence of specific light-capturing pigments.
Oct 11, 2020 · Proteins of animal source have a chemical score of 1.0, meaning that animal proteins contain all the essential amino acids in a minimum proportion necessary for the human body. Instead, the chemical score for cereal proteins normally ranges from 0.4 to 0.6, while the one for algae proteins ranges from 0.75 to 1.0 indicating that the protein ...
