  2. Flagellate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flagellate

    Among protoctists and microscopic animals, a flagellate is an organism with one or more flagella. Some cells in other animals may be flagellate, for instance the spermatozoa of most animal phyla. Flowering plants do not produce flagellate cells, but ferns, mosses, green algae, and some gymnosperms and closely related plants do so. [2]

  3. Chlamydomonas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlamydomonas

    Chlamydomonas (/ ˌ k l æ m ɪ ˈ d ɒ m ə n ə s,-d ə ˈ m oʊ-/ KLAM-ih-DOM-ə-nəs, -⁠də-MOH-) is a genus of green algae consisting of about 150 species [2] of unicellular flagellates, found in stagnant water and on damp soil, in freshwater, seawater, and even in snow as "snow algae". [3]

  4. Chlamydomonas reinhardtii - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlamydomonas_reinhardtii

    Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a single-cell green alga about 10 micrometres in diameter that swims with two flagella.It has a cell wall made of hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins, a large cup-shaped chloroplast, a large pyrenoid, and an eyespot apparatus that senses light.

  5. Cryptomonad - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptomonad

    Cryptomonad flagella are inserted parallel to one another, and are covered by bipartite hairs called mastigonemes, formed within the endoplasmic reticulum and transported to the cell surface. Small scales may also be present on the flagella and cell body. The mitochondria have flat cristae, and mitosis is open; sexual reproduction has also been ...

  7. Cryptomonas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptomonas

    Cryptomonas cells are fairly large; they average about 40 micrometers in size and often take the shape of an oval or ovoid. [4] There are two flagella present, yet the two flagella are not equally sized. [1] One is shorter and curled and the other one is longer and straight. [1] The two flagella are fixed to the cell by four unique microtubular ...

  8. Volvox globator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volvox_globator

    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] It is colonial flagellate found in freshwaters.

  9. Choanoflagellate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choanoflagellate

    During cell division, the new cell takes these costal strips as part of cytokinesis and assembles its own lorica using only these previously produced strips. [35] Choanoflagellate biosilicification requires the concentration of silicic acid within the cell. This is carried out by silicon transporter (SiT) proteins.
