What organelle does the algal cell have more of and why?

It is a chloroplast which other aquatic forms lack. It helps the alga to become autotrophic and form the basic level of the food chain in aquatic habitat.


Is chloroplast both eukaryotic and autotrophic?

The chloroplast is the organelle that enables photosynthesis. So, a cell with a chloroplast will be autotrophic, but not the chloroplast itself. A eukaryote is a type of cell with a nuclues, and other membrane bound organelles. So chloroplasts, eukaryotes, and autotrophs can't be related the way you asked in your question. I hope that helps!
