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 Chlorophyceae, also known as chlorophycean algae, are one of the classes of green algae, within the phylum Chlorophyta.They are a large assemblage of mostly freshwater and terrestrial organisms; many members are important primary producers in the ecosystems they inhabit.
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 ...
The Udoteaceae (Bryopsidales, Chlorophyta) consists of multinucleated green macroalgae found in tropical regions. Udotea is described to have an erect thalli that is coenocytic with three main parts: an uncalcified rhizoid that serves as an anchor to different substrates (e.g. rock, sand, mud); an uncalcified upright stalk with a cortex, also known as its stipe; and a fan-shaped calcified ...
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
Volvox is a polyphyletic genus of chlorophyte green algae in the family Volvocaceae. Volvox species form spherical colonies of up to 50,000 cells, and for this reason they are sometimes called globe algae. They live in a variety of freshwater habitats, and were first reported by Antonie van Leeuwenhoek in 1700.
The goal is to “inoculate” people to misinformation with facts around the vaccine, said Dannell Boatman, an assistant professor at West Virginia University School of Medicine. The HPV vaccine ...
Both the "chlorophyte algae" and the "streptophyte algae" are treated as paraphyletic (vertical bars beside phylogenetic tree diagram) in this analysis. [ 22 ] [ 23 ] The classification of Bryophyta is supported both by Puttick et al. 2018, [ 24 ] and by phylogenies involving the hornwort genomes that have also since been sequenced.
