Chlorophyte algae use a dehydrogenase inside the mitochondria to process glycolate during photorespiration. In contrast, streptophytes (including land plants) use peroxisomes that contain glycolate oxidase , which converts glycolate to glycoxylate , and the hydrogen peroxide created as a subproduct is reduced by catalases located in the same ...
The Viridiplantae diverged into two clades. The Chlorophyta include the early diverging prasinophyte lineages and the core Chlorophyta, which contain the majority of described species of green algae. The Streptophyta include charophytes and land plants. Below is a consensus reconstruction of green algal relationships, mainly based on molecular ...
Ulva lactuca is a thin flat green alga growing from a discoid holdfast.The margin is somewhat ruffled and often torn. It may reach 18 centimetres (7.1 in) or more in length, though generally much less, and up to 30 centimetres (12 in) across. [3]

Haematococcus pluvialis is a freshwater species of Chlorophyta from the family Haematococcaceae.This species is well known for its high content of the strong antioxidant astaxanthin, which is important in aquaculture, and cosmetics. [1]
Depending on the species, Chlorophyceae can grow unicellular (e.g. Chlamydomonas), colonial (e.g. Volvox), filamentous (e.g. Ulothrix), or multicellular. [example needed] They are usually green due to the presence of chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b; they can also contain the pigment beta-carotene.
