  1. Volvox Mrs. Wharton’s Science Class

  2. Volvox • Have TWO flagella each • Live in Colonies • Classified as algae • Obtain energy through photosynthesis(autotrophic). They contain chloroplasts. • Reproduce either sexually or asexually

  3. How they Live • Volvox are a colony of individualized cells that live together. • A colony can have anywhere from 500-50,000 cells. • Some cells in a colony can become specialized.

  4. How do they stay together • Colonies stay together by a cytoplasmic substance. • They work and move together. • Together they beat the flagellum in a sychronized motion.

  5. Daughter colonies • Volvox are one celled algae that live together in a colony • The colony is a hollow ball with 500-20000 individual cells • This is called a daughter colony
