Volvox is a green algae the forms colonies of up to 50,00 individual organisms. Each volvox has a nucleus, chloroplasts, a contractile vacuole, an eyespot, and a pair of flagella. The large, spherical colony usually contains daughter colonies that, once fully formed, will exit the parental colony.
1. colony of about 10,000 cells motile with paired flagella in each cell
2. photosynthetic with chlorophylls a and b
3. oogamous
4. cytoplasmic strands connect adjacent cells to one another
5. reproduces asexually with daughter colony cells forming in the hollow cavity of the parent colony.
volvox is the colony of chlamydomonas cell,spherical in shape.outermost cells are flagellated.All the cells move in same direction.Adjacent cells are joined hexagonally by cytoplasmic strand.
adult colony, daughter colony, and flagella
Volvox has both sexual and asexual reproduction.
it can be flexiable and to change shape.
They do not change shape.

In plant and animal
It has an organized nucleus.It has membranous organells

Volvox is NOT made up of an bacteria
Volvox is not a human pathogen.
The cells in green alga Volvox are not functionally specialized.

Volvox lives in freshwater habitats.
the volvox is part of the allgae family
The cells in green alga Volvox are not functionally specialized.
what is the classification of volvox Protista, Chlorophyta, chlorophyceae, volvocales
The volvox is a alge that produces food by the help of potosynthesis
No one can be predator of Volvox as it is alga.Animals which eat algae or plants are called grazers.
Well for one thanks for saying hi and for two your answer the Volvox move by flagella
The eyespots allow the volvox to find and take in the much needed light to perform photosynthesis, which provides the volvox food to survive.
