They are olive green and covered in white hairs of different lengths, with a scattering of orange and black dots that create a protective camouflage that helps them blend into their habitats. As they ...

Marine creatures house contraband structures in special organelles, which the animal raids for food in times of need.

Marine algae, especially haptophytes, are vital for marine life, contributing up to 50% of the ocean's biomass and playing a major role in the global carbon cycle.

Haptophytes—the unicellular photosynthetic marine algae—are one of the major contributors to marine biomass. Scientists at Okayama University, Japan, unveil the first high-resolution ...

On their slug-like bodies are their cerata. These green, leaf-like appendages are where the algae chloroplasts they eat are kept – giving them their green color. The Leaf Sheep’s Diet Leaf Sheep by ...

Blue-green algae blooms can also manifest as scum, foam, or a painted-like layer on the water's surface, appearing in various colors. The algae can be harmful to marine life, humans, and pets.

In 2021 biologist Sachihiro Matsunaga of the University of Tokyo reported how sacoglossan sea slugs can “steal” chloroplasts from algae they eat, fueling the slugs’ energy needs for weeks.

When the slug consumes algae, it doesn’t completely digest it. Instead, it separates the chloroplasts—the green organelles responsible for photosynthesis—and incorporates them into its body ...
