Volvox is a polyphyletic genus in the volvocine green algae clade. [2] Each mature Volvox colony is composed of up to thousands of cells from two differentiated cell types: numerous flagellate somatic cells and a smaller number of germ cells lacking in soma that are embedded in the surface of a hollow sphere or coenobium containing an ...
In Volvox only very few cells are able to reproduce new individuals, and in some species of Volvox the reproductive cells are derived from cells looking and behaving like somatic cells. In V. carteri , on the other hand, the division of labor is complete with reproductive cells being set aside during cell division, and they never assume somatic ...
Volvox carteri [1] is a species of colonial green algae in the order Volvocales. [2] The V. carteri life cycle includes a sexual phase and an asexual phase.V. carteri forms small spherical colonies, or coenobia, of 2000–6000 Chlamydomonas-type somatic cells and 12–16 large, potentially immortal reproductive cells called gonidia.

Pandorina is a genus of green algae composed of 8, 16, or sometimes 32 cells, held together at their bases to form a sack globular colony surrounded by mucilage.The cells are ovoid or slightly narrowed at one end to appear keystone- or pear-shaped.
Volvox globator is a species of green algae of the genus Volvox. It was originally described by Carl Linnaeus in his 1758 work Systema Naturae . [ 1 ] In 1856 its sexuality was described by Ferdinand Cohn and is the same as Sphaeroplea annulina . [ 2 ]
Other recent drug busts. Tuesday's indictment is the latest in numerous drug trafficking cases across the country, in which suspects have been accused of using various ploys to smuggle illicit drugs.
Green algae are often classified with their embryophyte descendants in the green plant clade Viridiplantae (or Chlorobionta). Viridiplantae, together with red algae and glaucophyte algae, form the supergroup Primoplantae, also known as Archaeplastida or Plantae sensu lato. The ancestral green alga was a unicellular flagellate. [20]
