Chlorophyceae:

  1. One of the classes of green algae, the Chlorophyceae, is differentiated primarily by its ultrastructural morphology.
  2. Because chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b dominate, they are often green.
  3. It has a plant body that might be filamentous, multicellular, colonial, or unicellular.
  4. The chloroplast is surrounded by one or more storage structures termed pyrenoids in the majority of chlorophytes.
  5. The shape of the chloroplast can vary, such as discoid, cup-shaped (as in Chlamydomonas), spiral, or ribbon-shaped.
