Question

volvox is a :
(a) colonial form (b) filamentous form (c) unicellular (d) siphonaceous form​

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct option is (a).

Explanation:

Volvox is a member of chlorophyceae (green algae) that produce spherical or oval hollow colonies which can be visible to the naked eye and contain 500–60,000 cells embedded in a gelatinous wall. Asexual Volvox colonies produce daughter colonies within the parent colony. The daughter colony emerges from the parent colony after maturing. Because of the presence of chlorophyll in its body, each Volvox species can produce its own food through photosynthesis.
