Question

Chloroplasts present in Spirogyra are

• A. Ribbon shaped
• B. Spirally coiled
• C. Studded with pyrenoids
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above

The chloroplasts are ribbon-shaped which forms a spiral around the vacuole and have specialized bodies known as pyrenoids that store starch. The cell wall consists of an inner layer of cellulose and an outer layer of pectin, which is responsible for the slippery texture of the algae. Spirogyra species can reproduce both sexually and asexually.

So, the correct answer is 'All of the above'.
