how would you distinguish chlamydomonas from euglena

chlamydomonas- plantae kingdom, green algae group : chlorophyceae, cell wall has cellulose, reserve food in starch, 2 vacuole, asexual repreoduciton = zoospores, aplanospores and hypnospores.


euglena- protista kingdom, euglenoids, reserve food in paramylum or paramylon, 1 vacuole, asexual reproduction = binary fusion

spirogyra, ulothrix and oedogonium all form filament. how can you tell them apart?

shape of their chloroplast


spirogyra = spiral, ribbon like chloroplast


ulothrix = curved plate chloroplast around the periphery


oedogonium = cylindrical, netted chloroplasts

in the green algae studied, where in the life cycles does the choromsomes change from haploid to diploid, and vice versa?

(chlamydomonas)- asexual reproduction brings about no changes in the number of chromosomes and all the cells remain haploid; sexual reproduction produces diploid cell that splits into 4 haploid zoospores, which grow to chlamydomona cells


(Ulothrix)- in the zygote stage is the only diploid cells in the cycle , all other cells are haploid


(spirogyra)- during sexual reproduciton becomes diploid, in meiosis cells become 4 haploid cells


(oedogonium)- during meiosis cange from diploid to 4 haploid

- most green algae have a single nucleus and reproduce borth sexually and asexually

(chlamydomonas)-

asexual reproduction brings about no changes in the number of chromosomes and all the cells remain haploid; sexual reproduction produces diploid cell that splits into 4 haploid zoospores, which grow to chlamydomona cells

flagellated gametes are of two slighttly differnt sizes
