Volvoxis the most developed in a series of genera that form spherical colonies. Each mature Volvoxcolony is composed of numerous flagellate cells similar to Chlamydomonas, up to 50,000 in total, and embedded in the surface of a hollow sphere or coenobium containing an extracellular matrix made of a gelatinous glycoprotein. The cells swim in a coordinated fashion, with distinct anterior and posterior poles. The cells have eyespots, more developed near the anterior, which enable the colony to swim towards light. The individual algae in some species are interconnected by thin strands of cytoplasm, called protoplasmates.[4] They are known to demonstrate some individuality and working for the good of their colony, acting like one multicellular organism. The flagellates on its outside resemble Euglena.

∙ 10y agoNeither, though it's closer to being multicellular. Volvox is a colony of cells that function together.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoIt's actually a colony of unicellular protists. Any multicellular protist in a volvox usually breaks off.

∙ 12y agoVolvox is indeed multicellular because they are a bunch of uni cells forming colonies.

Is pond organism is a unicellular or a multicellular?
a pond organism is a unicellular
Objective of unicellular and multicellular organism?
to classify unicellular and multicellular organisms.
Is a man is unicellular or multicellular?
A man is a multicellular organism.
What is the difference between volvox and other protozoa?
Volvox may be considered to be both unicellular and multicellular. It resembles the one-celled organism "Chlamydomonas." Volvox also has characteristics from those of a colony because most of the cells are similiar. It also has specialized reproductive cells and the two ends of the colony are different.
Is a daffodil a multicellular organism?
No. A dandelion is a complex multi-cellular plant.
