Algology is the scientific study of algae. Algae are a diverse group of aquatic organisms that range in size from single-celled organisms to large seaweeds. They are photosynthetic, meaning they produce their own food using sunlight, and play a crucial role in aquatic ecosystems. Algologists investigate various aspects of algae, including their classification, physiology, ecology, and potential applications. This field contributes to our understanding of aquatic environments, food webs, and the global carbon cycle. Research in algology also explores the use of algae in biotechnology, such as for biofuels, pharmaceuticals, and food supplements. The study encompasses a wide array of algal groups, including green algae, red algae, brown algae, and diatoms.
