A common example of unicellular algae is chlamydomonas. It is a motile freshwater alga. The cell is surrounded by a cell wall. It contains a nucleus inside the cavity of a cup-shaped chloroplast. The chloroplast is the organelle that contains the pigment chlorophyll, which helps in photosynthesis. On the anterior side, they have flagella that help in locomotion. They have contractile vacuoles at the base of each flagellum. The anterior part of the chloroplast also contains a small eyespot, which helps in the reception of light.
