Ultrastructure of Eukaryotic Algal Cell: Chlamydomonas, a member of green algae (chlorophyceae) is found almost in all places. It is simple, motile, unicellular, fresh water alga. Its ultrastructure can be divided into following parts (Fig. 1, 2): Cell Wall of Eukaryotic Algal Cell: The cell is bounded by a thin, cellulose cell wall. Cellulose layer is finely striated with parallel [...]
