Volvox colonies were first recorded by Dutch microscopist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek in 1700 and are widely studied as a genetic model of morphogenesis (how organisms develop specialized cells and tissues). Volvox also exhibit differentiation between somatic (non-sex cells) and reproductive cells, a phenomenon considered by some biologists to be significant in tracing the evolution of higher animals from microorganisms.
Volvox are not harmful to the environment because they play a big part in our everyday lives... however if you ate the volvox it would probably make you sick.
The eyespots allow the volvox to find and take in the much needed light to perform photosynthesis, which provides the volvox food to survive.
The scientific name of Volvox is Volvox carteri. Volvox is a genus of green algae that forms spherical colonies. Each colony is made up of numerous individual cells that work together in a coordinated manner, exhibiting characteristics of both multicellular and unicellular organisms.
Our body does not come into direct contact with Volvox because it is a freshwater algae that primarily inhabits ponds and lakes. Any potential exposure to Volvox would likely be through contaminated water, but our immune system can provide protection by recognizing Volvox as a foreign invader and initiating an immune response to neutralize it.
No, Volvox is not a bacteria. It is a green algae that forms spherical colonies composed of many individual flagellated cells that work together as a single organism.
It can tell light from dark with its eyespot.

Volvox lives in freshwater habitats.
the volvox is part of the allgae family

what is the classification of volvox Protista, Chlorophyta, chlorophyceae, volvocales
Respond
There are 7 characteristics of life one of which is irritability, meaning an organism needs to be able to react to its environment, this characteristic or instinct is what causes organisms to react to their environment. The ability to ajust to this change in their environment is adaption.
