    Chlamydomonas is of course a type of algae, but it is a single-celled plant, it has chloroplasts, and a cell wall composed mainly of cellulose, so it is of course a plant.

    Algae are all plants, which are divided into cyanobacteria, euglena, dinoflagellates, golden algae, xanthellae, diatoms, green algae, red algae, and brown algae (mainly classified according to the chromosome structure, pigments contained, nuclear structure and cell wall components).

    A few species of algae are heterotrophic or temporarily heterotrophic and can also be classified as heterotrophic plants, and other species that are capable of photosynthesis and autotrophic are of course plants, and in summary, algae are all plants.

    In addition, algae are not strictly classified, it is a general term for cyanobacteria, euglena, dinoflagellates, goldenrods, xanthellae, diatoms, chlorophyta, red algae, and brown phylums, and the plant kingdom is classified as follows:

    Plantae. Spore plants.

    Cyanobacteria. Euglena phylum.

    Dinoflagellates phylum. Phylum Phylum Aureus.

    Xanthellae phylum } Algae plants.

    Diatom phylum. Chlorella.

    Red algae. Brown phylum.

    Bacteria phylum. Myxomycetes } fungal plants.

    Fungal phylum. Lichen door.

    Bryophyta phylum } Cervical oviparator plants.

    Phylum Ferns.

    Seed plants. Gymnosperms } vascular plants.

    Angiosperm phylum.

    Algae plants, fungi plants, lichens are collectively referred to as lower plants.

    Cervical oocyte plants and vascular plants are collectively referred to as higher plants.

    No, algae are not strictly classified in biology.

    Algae are all plants.

    Chlamydomonas belongs to a genus in the chlorella algae. It is also a representative plant of the phylum Chlorophyta.

    Chlamydomonas is a protist.

    Chlamydomonas is also known as "Chlamydomonas". Unicellular, spherical or ovate, with two equal-length flagella at the apex that swim. 1 or 2 expansion vesicles at the base of the flagella; At the proximal tip of the cell, there is a red eyespot.

    Pigments are often large cup-shaped with a single protein nucleus. The cell wall is smooth and uncoated or gelated. The front end of the cell may or may not have a papilloid protrusion. Asexual reproduction yields 2 16 zoospores; Sexual reproduction is homogamous, heterogamous, and ovarian reproduction.

    It mostly lives in small water bodies with rich organic matter or on moist soil surfaces. But it is also commonly found in ponds, lakes or rivers. A common planktonic species in Chaohu Lake.

    Chlamydomonas is a common freshwater green algae. During the growing season, Chlamydomonas is often found in ponds rich in nutrients, especially nitrogen and phosphorus, and sometimes grows into pure groups, but in ponds or slow streams, it often mixes with other algae and is not easy to collect. They are difficult to find during the non-growing season.

    Chlamydomonas has the most abundant research results in chloroplast and photosynthesis, and a large number of related mutants have been created by physical and chemical screening, molecular genetics and genetic engineering methods (such as deletion, insertion, transposon, etc.), and related studies have been carried out.

    Algae are a class of eukaryotes in the protist kingdom (some are also prokaryotes, such as the algae of the phylum Cyanobacteria).

    Mainly aquatic, non-vasculating, capable of photosynthesis. They range in size from single-celled dinoflagellates as small as 1 micron long to large brown algae up to 60 meters long. Some leading experts continue to classify algae as plants or plant-like organisms, but algae have no true roots, stems, leaves, and no vascular bundles.

    Algae may be composed of one or a few cells, or many cells may aggregate into a tissue-like structure. Filaments can branch or not, and some algae are unicellular, while others aggregate into colonies.

    The green algae of the genus Pine algae are formed by the interweaving of numerous branched filaments, and the morphology and function of the filaments are different in different parts. Although predominantly aquatic, algae are ubiquitous, ranging from temperate forests to polar plains. Some varieties live in soil and can tolerate long-term water scarcity; Others live in the snow; A few species thrive in hot springs.

    Not prokaryotes, chlorella and chlamydomonas belong to unicellular algae and belong to plants, so they are eukaryotes.

    The fundamental difference between eukaryotes and prokaryotes is that the former has a nucleus bounded by a nuclear membrane in the cell, hence the eukaryotic name for this type of cell. Many eukaryotic cells also contain other organelles such as mitochondria, chloroplasts, Golgi apparatus, etc.

    Compared to prokaryotes, eukaryotes have a nucleus, and the cell size is relatively large and the growth rate is fast. Eukaryotes are usually heterotrophic microorganisms, which can derive a variety of organic acids in the process of growth and reproduction, and are easy to form complexes with metal ions in the leaching process, which is conducive to the leaching of valuable metals.

    No, both are unicellular algae and belong to plants, so they are eukaryotes.

    Unicellular algae refers to the embryoless, autotrophic, spores to reproduce the lower plants, the algae are single-celled, swarm or multicellular, the tiny ones can only be seen by a microscope, and the large ones such as sargassum and macroalgae can be up to a few meters to hundreds of meters.

    The internal structure begins to differentiate on the cells without having true roots, stems, and leaves. The whole algae is a simple phyllophyll containing chlorophyll that can carry out photosynthesis. The reproduction of algae is basically the germination of new individuals by single-celled spores or zygotes leaving the mother's body, either directly or after a short period of dormancy.

    Of course not, these are single-celled eukaryotes.

    In secondary school textbooks, only cyanobacteria are prokaryotes.

    Chlamydomonas belongs to eukaryotes.

    Chlamydomonas is also known as "Chlamydomonas". Like all plants, there are mitochondria and chloroplasts at the same time, Chlorophyta, Chlamydomonas family. The algae are unicellular, spherical or ovate, with two flagella of equal length at the front end, which can swim.

    Eukaryotic cell characteristics.

    Eukaryotic cells: Cells are larger, with a nuclear membrane, nucleolus, and a true one'Nucleus; There is a certain number of chromosomes (DNA combined with proteins); There are generally a variety of organelles.
