Biopolymer

Biopolymers are polymers produced by living organisms; in other words, they are polymeric biomolecules.

Carotenoid

Carotenoids, also called tetraterpenoids, are organic pigments that are produced by plants and algae, as well as several bacteria and fungi.

Chitin

Chitin (C8H13O5N)n, a long-chain polymer of ''N''-acetylglucosamine, is a derivative of glucose.

Chlorella

Chlorella is a genus of single-celled green algae belonging to the division Chlorophyta.

Conchiolin

Conchiolins (sometimes referred to as conchins) are complex proteins which are secreted by a mollusc's outer epithelium (the mantle).

Cytoplasmic male sterility

Cytoplasmic male sterility is total or partial male sterility in plants as the result of specific nuclear and mitochondrial interactions.

Electron microscope

An electron microscope is a microscope that uses a beam of accelerated electrons as a source of illumination.

Enzyme

Enzymes are macromolecular biological catalysts.

Fatty acid

In chemistry, particularly in biochemistry, a fatty acid is a carboxylic acid with a long aliphatic chain, which is either saturated or unsaturated.

Green algae

The green algae (singular: green alga) are a large, informal grouping of algae consisting of the Chlorophyta and Charophyta/Streptophyta, which are now placed in separate divisions, as well as the more basal Mesostigmatophyceae, Chlorokybophyceae and Spirotaenia.

Paleoclimatology

Paleoclimatology (in British spelling, palaeoclimatology) is the study of changes in climate taken on the scale of the entire history of Earth.

Palynology

Palynology is the "study of dust" (from palunō, "strew, sprinkle" and -logy) or "particles that are strewn".

Phenols

In organic chemistry, phenols, sometimes called phenolics, are a class of chemical compounds consisting of a hydroxyl group (—OH) bonded directly to an aromatic hydrocarbon group.

Phenylalanine

Phenylalanine (symbol Phe or F) is an α-amino acid with the formula.

Phenylpropanoid

The phenylpropanoids are a diverse family of organic compounds that are synthesized by plants from the amino acids phenylalanine and tyrosine.

Phycopeltis

Phycopeltis is a genus of green algae in the family Trentepohliaceae.

Plant

Plants are mainly multicellular, predominantly photosynthetic eukaryotes of the kingdom Plantae.

New!!: Sporopollenin and Plant · See more »

Pollen

Pollen is a fine to coarse powdery substance comprising pollen grains which are male microgametophytes of seed plants, which produce male gametes (sperm cells).

Secretion

Secretion is the movement of material from one point to another, e.g. secreted chemical substance from a cell or gland.

New!!: Sporopollenin and Secretion · See more »

Sediment

Sediment is a naturally occurring material that is broken down by processes of weathering and erosion, and is subsequently transported by the action of wind, water, or ice, and/or by the force of gravity acting on the particles.

New!!: Sporopollenin and Sediment · See more »

Soil

Soil is a mixture of organic matter, minerals, gases, liquids, and organisms that together support life.

New!!: Sporopollenin and Soil · See more »

Spore

In biology, a spore is a unit of sexual or asexual reproduction that may be adapted for dispersal and for survival, often for extended periods of time, in unfavourable conditions.

Stamen

The stamen (plural stamina or stamens) is the pollen-producing reproductive organ of a flower.

New!!: Sporopollenin and Stamen · See more »

Tapetum (botany)

The tapetum is a specialised layer of nutritive cells found within the anther, of flowering plants, where it is located between the sporangenous tissue and the anther wall.

Tectin (secretion)

Tectin is an organic substance secreted by certain ciliates.

New!!: Sporopollenin and Tectin (secretion) · See more »

Ulvophyceae

The Ulvophyceae or ulvophytes are a class of green algae, distinguished mainly on the basis of ultrastructural morphology, life cycle and molecular phylogenetic data.
