Algae Cell/Pic/Description


Reservoir Eyespot-
Contractile Vacuole- A contractile vacuole is a type of vacuole involved in osmoregulation. It pumps excess water out of a cell and is found prominently in freshwater protists.
Flagellum-A flagellum is a long, slender projection from the cell body, composed of microtubules and surrounded by the plasma membrane.

Paramylon Body-

Pellicle -Pellice is a thin layer supporting the cell membrane in various protozoa

Chloroplast-Chloroplasts are organelles found in plant cells and eukaryotic algae that conduct photosynthesis.

Nucleus -Nucleus is the control center of a cell, which contains the cell's chromosomal DNA
-Questions-

How does the algae cell survive?
How long is their life span?
How do they obtain their food?
