Algal starter cultures are begun with one algal cell or very few cells, but many species of algae are single-celled plants. The final biomass harvested from a pond represents, at the least, millions to billions of cell divisions that originated from one or only a few cells.
Nutrients. Honey's a natural syrup requires no other additives of sugar or salt. In fact, it's mainly sugar itself, with 16 g per tablespoon. The National Honey Board states that honey contains 64 calories in a tablespoon, which means there are approximately 21 calories in a teaspoon.

A 1-teaspoon serving of honey contributes just over 1 percent of the intake of calories recommended for the average adult within a typical 2,000-calorie-per-day diet. A 1-teaspoon serving of honey weighs about 7 grams. Around 5.7 grams of this weight are carbohydrates, while 0.02 grams are protein and the rest is water. While you may consider honey to be more nutritious than table sugar, it is still sugar and should therefore be eaten in moderation.
