  2. Chlorophyta - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorophyta

    During the 20th century, many different classification schemes for the Chlorophyta arose. The Smith system, published in 1938 by American botanist Gilbert Morgan Smith, distinguished two classes: Chlorophyceae, which contained all green algae (unicellular and multicellular) that did not grow through an apical cell; and Charophyceae, which ...

  3. Green algae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_algae

    The green algae (sg.: green alga) are a group of chlorophyll-containing autotrophic eukaryotes consisting of the phylum Prasinodermophyta and its unnamed sister group that contains the Chlorophyta and Charophyta/Streptophyta. The land plants (Embryophytes) have emerged deep within the charophytes as a sister of the Zygnematophyceae.

  4. Chlorophyceae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorophyceae

    The Chlorophyceae are one of the classes of green algae, distinguished mainly on the basis of ultrastructural morphology. [2] They are usually green due to the dominance of pigments chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b. The chloroplast may be discoid, plate-like, reticulate, cup-shaped, spiral- or ribbon-shaped in different species.

  5. Chloropicaceae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloropicaceae

    Chloropicophyceae is a class of green algae in the division Chlorophyta that, along with Picocystophyceae, coincides with the traditional "prasinophyte clade VII". [1] Chloropicophyceae has a single order, Chloropicales with a single family, Chloropicaceae.

    The Chlorophyceae are a class of green algae, distinguished mainly on the basis of ultrastructural morphology. They are usually green due to the dominance of pigments chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b. The chloroplast may be discoid, plate-like, reticulate, cup-shaped, spiral or ribbon shaped, depending on the species.

    Green algae, Scenedesmus Green algae, Crucigenia. Scenedesmaceae is a family of green algae in the order Sphaeropleales. Scenedesmus algae are commonly found in freshwater plankton. The former family Coelastraceae is considered a synonym of Scenedesmaceae. [1]

    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]

  9. Trebouxiophyceae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trebouxiophyceae

    The Trebouxiophyceae are a class of green algae, in the division Chlorophyta. [2] Their circumscription within the green algae is not well established due to the need for more genetic studies at higher levels within the group. [citation needed] Genera without intervening taxonomy include: Choricystis; Crucigenia; Koliellopsis; Leptosira ...
