Desmids are plants, so they have chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is used in photosynthesis to create sugar and starch.
Sugars and starch are used as fuel. Other nutrients are also absorbed from the water.
Desmids move primarily by a form of locomotion called "gliding." They have a gelatinous layer that surrounds their cells, allowing them to move smoothly through the water by sliding along surfaces. This method of movement helps desmids navigate their environment and find optimal conditions for growth and reproduction.
Desmids typically require freshwater to thrive. They are commonly found in lakes, ponds, and other freshwater bodies where the water is relatively clean and clear. Proper water quality, including nutrients and light availability, is essential for the growth and reproduction of desmids.
Desmids, which class is Charophyceae, is one of the closest member to the bryophytes and vascular plants.(even lacking flagellated cells) Neveretheless, it's own importance relies on the fact that: -They are abundant on environments poor in mineral nutrients. -Their associations with symbiotic bacteria.
Plants belonging to bryophytes and Pteridophytes etc. reproduce with spores and thoseof gymnosperms and angiosperms reproduce with seeds.
Shorea trees reproduce by producing flowers, which are pollinated by insects. Once pollinated, the flowers develop into fruits containing seeds. These seeds are then dispersed either by wind or animals, allowing the shorea tree to reproduce and propagate.
no
Most species of desmids need mucilage so they can move.
for their color
Desmids are a very colorful and different group of freshwater algae. They are microscopic flowerless plants. They do not have roots, stems, or leaves.
Marine

Desmids are a division of green algae.
Desmids move by using extensions of their cell called pseudopods, which help them glide along surfaces or through water. These pseudopods are temporary projections that can be retracted and extended to change direction and move the desmid around.
They are found on the stratosphere of the atmosphere.
Desmids are sometimes given the name "microjewels" for their ability to assume a variety of highly symmetrical and generally attractive shapes.
Only pond water, the kind with all the fish goldfish is very good for desmids the skin that rubs off of fish is great for the desmids.
