This list of genera in Chlorophyceae is sub-divided by order and family. Some genera have uncertain taxonomic placement and are listed as incertae sedis . The list is based on the data available in AlgaeBase , the Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS) and other taxonomic databases.
The Chlorophyceae are one of the classes of green algae, distinguished mainly on the basis of ultrastructural morphology. [2] They are usually green due to the dominance of pigments chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b .
Chlorophytes are eukaryotic organisms composed of cells with a variety of coverings or walls, and usually a single green chloroplast in each cell. [4] They are structurally diverse: most groups of chlorophytes are unicellular, such as the earliest-diverging prasinophytes, but in two major classes (Chlorophyceae and Ulvophyceae) there is an evolutionary trend toward various types of complex ...
For example, mechanical dredging of kelp destroys the resource and dependent fisheries. Other forces also threaten some seaweed ecosystems; for example, a wasting disease in predators of purple urchins has led to an urchin population surge which has destroyed large kelp forest regions off the coast of California.
E, single vegetative cell of M. amœna var. crassior Hansg., showing the reticulated chloroplast. The indistinct blur in the centre of the cell indicates the position of the nucleus. F, fragment of filament of M. amœna with aplanospore (a). Scientific classification; Clade: Viridiplantae: Division: Chlorophyta: Class: Chlorophyceae: Order ...
Chlamydomonadaceae is a family of algae within the order Chlamydomonadales. [1] Traditionally, it has been defined as containing single-celled flagellates with a cell wall. [2] ...
This is an example of endosymbiosis. [4] The relationship between some salamanders and some species of green algae, including C. amblystomatis, is the only known example of an intracellular endosymbiont in vertebrates. [5] [6] This symbiosis between C. amblystomatis and the salamander may exist beyond the oocyte and early embryonic stage ...
The embryophytes (/ ˈ ɛ m b r i ə ˌ f aɪ t s /) are a clade of plants, also known as Embryophyta (/ ˌ ɛ m b r i ˈ ɒ f ə t ə,-oʊ ˈ f aɪ t ə /) or land plants.They are the most familiar group of photoautotrophs that make up the vegetation on Earth's dry lands and wetlands.
