Best Answer

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.
