Structure of a Chlorophyta
The Phylum Chlorophyta includes about 7,000 species. Chlorophyta species occur as unicellular organisms, multicellular organisms or as colonies of unicellular organisms bound by a gel like matrix. This algae is not considered a plant because they do not have roots, stems, or leaves.
* Green algae also have cell walls made of cellulose and store food within their cells as starch.
* Chlorophyta moves with long whip-like structures called flagella.
* This phylum also reproduces sexually and asexually.
