Chlorophyceae can reproduce both asexually and sexually. In asexual reproduction, cells may produce autospores, aplanospores or zoospores. Autospores (by definition) lack flagella and appear as smaller versions of vegetative cells. Zoospores typically have an elongate, hydrodynamic shape and often have eyespots.
An example of Chlorophyceae genus Pediastrum. The Chlorophyceae are a class of green algae, distinguished mainly on the basis of ultrastructural morphology. They are usually green due to the dominance of pigments chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b.
Chaetophorales is an order of green algae in the class Chlorophyceae. [1] Algae in the order Chaetophorales consist of filamentous, branched algae. The thalli have two parts, a prostrate and upright section and the filaments are variously branched. The algae are found in freshwater habitats or terrestrial habitats. [2]
Examples of useful products of Coelastrella species include carotenoids suchas astaxanthin, or lipids such as linoleic acid. The lipids may also be used for bioenergy purposes. [6] In addition to chemical production, Coelastrella has capacity for bioremediation or wastewater treatment. [6]
Volvox colony: 1) Chlamydomonas-like cell, 2) Daughter colony, 3) Cytoplasmic bridges, 4) Intercellular gel, 5) Reproductive cell, 6) Somatic cell.. Volvox is a polyphyletic genus in the volvocine green algae clade. [2]
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 ...

Chlorella is a genus of about thirteen species of single-celled or colonial green algae of the division Chlorophyta.The cells are spherical in shape, about 2 to 10 μm in diameter, and are without flagella.
