Volvox From Latin
volvo, "to roll"
a motile green
algal colony
composed of
500-50,000 cells
connected by
cytoplasmic
extensions
each cell has two
equal flagella;
the colonies
coordinate the
flagellar
movements of
cells on different
sides of the
sphere in order
to swim with a
rolling motion
mucilage is
surrounded by a
boundary layer that
has a similar
chemical
composition to the
cell wall
Cell membrane
Cytoplasm
Asexual as well as
sexual reproduction.
