Chlorophyceae/ Green Algae -

Chlorophyceae/ Green Algae:

  • These are commonly called green algae because they are green in colour. 
  • These usually live in freshwater bodies. Some are found in brackish and marine waters.
  • The green colouration is due to the presence of photosynthetic pigments  Chlorophyll a and Chlorophyll b are present in chloroplasts. Carotenoids are also present in them. 
  • Chloroplasts may be discoid, reticulate, ribbon-like, star-like, cup-shaped etc.
  • Each chloroplast has either one or more than one starch storing protein bodied called pyrenoids.
  • Reserve food material is stored in the form of oil or starch.
  • The cell wall has inner cellulose and outer pectin layers.
  • Vegetative reproduction occurs by fragmentation or fission.
  • Asexual reproduction occurs by the formation (Spirogyra - has non-motile isogamous gametes). In some, it takes place by Anisogamy and in others by Oogamy (Volvox)
  • Ex: Chlamydomonas, Volvox, Spirogyra, Ulothrix, Chara
