Have slender, rod-shaped thallus arranged in rows joined end-to-end. In other words, Filamentous algae are single algae cells that form long visible chains, threads, or filaments. These filaments intertwine forming a mat that resembles wet wool. Filamentous algae starts growing along the bottom in shallow water or attached to structures in the water (like rocks or other aquatic plants). Often filamentous algae floats to the surface forming large mats, which are commonly referred to as "Pond scums." There are many species of filamentous algae and often more than one species will be present at the same time in the pond.

What is an example of blue green algae?
zygnema and spirogyra are examples of filamentous algae
What are four body forms of algae?
unicellular, colonial, filamentous, multicellular
Is algae motile?
No, some are filamentous or even with false branching. But in most of the algae their gametes are motile, having flagella.
Why do biologists think that ancient green algae were the ancestors of todays plants?
Because their basic cellular composition remains similar to the modern plants.
Is algae unicellular or multicellular?
Depending up on its form an alga may be unicellular like Chlamydomonas to multi-cellular like Volvox. More higher forms of algae are filamentous and even branched.
Organisms that are unicellular colonial filamentous and photosynthetic is?
Unicellular,filamentous and photosynthetic organisms are ALGAE
What type of organism is microscopic algae?
The microscopic algae are unicellular, colonial and filamentous forms of organisms.

Long filamentous organelle with a banded appearance?
A long filamentous organelle with a banded appearance is a myofibril. A myofibril is a cylindrical structure that extends along the complete length of each muscle cell.
