Best Answer

A good example of an algal cell is Spirogyra. Spirogyra is a freshwater organism composed of cells that are attached to one another end to end to form long, hairlike strands. In many ways a spirogyra cell will appear similar to those of plant cells. It has a cell wall, cytoplasm, a large vacuole between the strands of cytoplasm, and one or two spiral shaped chloroplasts. These cells are differently shaped than that of other plant cells. They are cylindrical, rather than boxlike.
