Messier 51 has arms that look like a spiral lollipop, while the arms of the flocculent galaxy NGC 2403 look choppy, perhaps more like layered frosting.

- Having a fluffy character or appearance
- Flocculation is, in the field of chemistry, a process where colloids come out of suspension in the form of floc or flakes. The action differs from precipitation in that, prior to flocculation, colloids are merely suspended in a liquid and not actually dissolved in a solution. ...
- Diminutive of flocculent spiral galaxy; Flocculated, resembling bits of wool, woolly; Covered in a woolly substance; downy; Flaky
- (Flocculence) The clumping of yeast cells into masses toward the end of the fermentation process. When the yeast flocculates, it contributes to the clarification of the beer. Floor Malting. ...
- A substance that is added to water to make particles clump together in order to achieve better filtration.
- Comprised of or containing woolly masses.
- Chemical added to water that attaches to small particles and helps them sink; the material that settles on the bottom can be removed to improve the clarity of the water.
- Chemical which, when added to water, causes particles to coagulate into larger groupings (flogs), which settle from the water.
- Treatment that causes suspended organics to clump, which then will sink to the pond bottom
