How would you represent a well labelled colony of Volvox?

Answer» Volvox\xa0is a Chlorophyte, or green alga. It exists as a grand spherical\xa0colony. Each little alga within the\xa0colony\xa0bears two flagella, whip-like hairs. The individual alga are connected to each other by thin strands of cytoplasm that enable the whole\xa0colony\xa0to swim in a coordinated fashion.\xa0Volvox is a polyphyletic\xa0genus\xa0of chlorophyte green\xa0algae\xa0in 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.
