- Volvox - Wikipedia
Volvox Volvox is a polyphyletic genus of chlorophyte green algae in the family Volvocaceae Volvox species form spherical colonies of up to 50,000 cells, and for this reason they are sometimes called globe algae First reported by Antonie van Leeuwenhoek in 1700, it is distinctive and easily identified in the microscope
- Volvox: Structure Characteristics with Labeled Diagram
Volvox, commonly known as green algae, is a group of freshwater free-floating organisms, divided into about twenty species They are primitive, multi-celled organisms belonging to the plant kingdom, forming a direct link between the lower single-celled organisms, and the higher complex organisms
- Volvox | Freshwater, Colonial Ciliate | Britannica
Volvox, genus of some 20 species of freshwater green algae (division Chlorophyta) found worldwide Volvox form spherical or oval hollow colonies that contain some 500 to 60,000 cells embedded in a gelatinous wall and that are often just visible with the naked eye

In Volvox mostly the cells of posterior part of colony take part in reproduction These reproductive cells can be recognized by their larger size, prominent nuclei, dense granular cytoplasm, more pyrenoids and absence of flagella
