The sea lettuce, Ulva, belongs here. Other well-known members include Caulerpa, Codium, Acetabularia, Cladophora, Trentepohlia and Monostroma. The Ulvophytes are diverse in their morphology and their habitat. Most are seaweeds such as those listed above.
Ulva prolifera (previously Enteromorpha prolifera), also known as the branched string lettuce, is a species of seaweed algae in the family Ulvaceae that can be found worldwide. [ 1 ] Description
Composite image illustrating the diversity of Ulvophyceae. Top left: Ulva.Top right: Caulerpa.Bottom left: Bornetella.Bottom right: Dictyosphaeria. The Ulvophyceae or ulvophytes are a class of green algae, [1] distinguished mainly on the basis of ultrastructural morphology, life cycle and molecular phylogenetic data. [2]

This plant is annual and can reproduce through both sexual and asexual mechanisms. Some species have isogametic capacities but little is known about this and it seems to be a rare occurrence present in few species. The few cases that have occurred were in apical and sub apical un-specialized cells.
Caulerpa species support their large cell size by having the cytoplasm circulate constantly, supported by a network of microtubules.This behavior was known in 1967. [10]The cytoplasm does not leak out when the cell is cut.
