Answer:
Explanation:
The Chlorophyceae are a large and important group of freshwater green algae. They include some of the most common species, as well as many members that are important both ecologically and scientifically.
Plant body may be unicellular, colonial, filamentous, or multicellular.
They are usually green due to the presence of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and beta-carotene.
The chloroplast may be discoid, cup-shaped (e.g. Chlamydomonas), spiral or ribbon shaped (e.g. Spirogyra)
Most chlorophytes have one or more storage bodies called pyrenoids (central proteinaceous body covered with a starch sheath) that are localised around the chloroplast.
The inner cell wall is made of cellulose and the outer layer is pectose.
Asexual reproduction is by zoospores. They are flagellates produced from the parent cells by mitosis. Also by aplanospores, hepnospores, akinetes, Palmella stage, etc.
Sexual reproduction of plants is isogamous, anisogamous or oogamous.
