plants and photosynthetic protists
none that i know of volvox are kinda weird protists so....
Unlike most cells which are usually very clear and dont really have a color, volvox is a green shade; since, it is in the "green algae" group of the "protists".
An amoeba and a Volvox are two examples of protists. The amoeba is heterotrophic (does not make its own food), and the Volvox is autotrophic (makes its own food through photosynthesis).

The protist amoeba does. I think this process is called exocytosis.
