Chlorophytina is a subphylum within Chlorophyta and includes five classes. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] It contains the more well-known green algae and is characterized by the presence of phycoplasts . Taxonomy
Chlorophytes are eukaryotic organisms composed of cells with a variety of coverings or walls, and usually a single green chloroplast in each cell. [4] They are structurally diverse: most groups of chlorophytes are unicellular, such as the earliest-diverging prasinophytes, but in two major classes (Chlorophyceae and Ulvophyceae) there is an evolutionary trend toward various types of complex ...
The Chlorophyceae are one of the classes of green algae, distinguished mainly on the basis of ultrastructural morphology. [2] They are usually green due to the dominance of pigments chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b. The chloroplast may be discoid, plate-like, reticulate, cup-shaped, spiral- or ribbon-shaped in different species.

Chloropicophyceae is a class of green algae in the division Chlorophyta that, along with Picocystophyceae, coincides with the traditional "prasinophyte clade VII". [1] Chloropicophyceae has a single order, Chloropicales with a single family, Chloropicaceae .
The green algae (sg.: green alga) are a group of chlorophyll-containing autotrophic eukaryotes consisting of the phylum Prasinodermophyta and its unnamed sister group that contains the Chlorophyta and Charophyta/Streptophyta. The land plants (Embryophytes) have emerged deep within the charophytes as a sister of the Zygnematophyceae.
The Trebouxiophyceae, also known as trebouxiophytes, are a class of green algae, in the division Chlorophyta. [2] Members of this class are single-celled, colonial, or multicellular and are found in freshwater or terrestrial habitats worldwide.
