Answers
Answer:
. Coenobium (a colony with definite number of cells) is a hollow sphere of mucilage made of many cells.
2. All the cells are arranged in the periphery of mucilaginuous sphere in a single layer (Fig. 15).
Volvox Aureus
3. Number of cells in a colony varies from 500 to 60,000 in different species.
4. Cells are connected with each other by the cytoplasmic strands, which form a net-like structure in the colony (Fig. 16A, B).
Volvox
5. All somatic cells are green in colour and show a typical Chlamydomonad structure, i.e., similar to that of Chlamydomonas. Cells in Volvoxglobator are Sphaerella type.

plz mark brilliant answer plzzzz
Volvox is a polyphyletic genus of chlorophyte green algae in the family Volvocaceae. It forms spherical colonies of up to 50,000 cells. They live in a variety of freshwater habitats, and were first reported by Antonie van Leeuwenhoek in 1700 .Volvox thallus is a motile colony with definite shape and number of cells. This habit of thallus is called coenobium. ADVERTISEMENTS: The colony is hollow, spherical or oval in shape and the size of colony is about the size of a pin head.Volvox form spherical or oval hollow colonies that contain some 500 to 60,000 cells embedded in a gelatinous wall and that are often just visible with the naked eye.
