Question

Ulothrix is an example of which type of Chlorophyceae?

B VENKAT · Accepted Answer

## CORE INFORMATION
✓ **Answer**: A
## CONCEPT FRAMEWORK
 **Primary Concept**: Classification of Chlorophyceae
 **Related Topics**: Algae, Phycology, Plant Taxonomy
 **Prerequisites**: Basic understanding of algal morphology and classification.
## SOLUTION PATHWAY
**Given Information**:
  The organism in question is Ulothrix.
  We need to identify its type within Chlorophyceae.
**Method & Steps**:
 1. Identify the morphological characteristics of Ulothrix.
  Reasoning: Ulothrix is a green alga characterized by its unbranched filamentous structure.
  Formula/Rule: None directly applicable; this is based on biological knowledge.
 2. Compare Ulothrix's morphology to the given options.
  Working:  The options describe different morphological forms within Chlorophyceae: filamentous, colonial, unicellular motile, and unicellular non-motile.
  Key Point: Ulothrix's filamentous structure is the key characteristic for classification.
 3. Match Ulothrix's morphology to the correct option.
  Result: Ulothrix is a filamentous alga.
  Verification:  Consult a reliable source on algal classification to confirm that Ulothrix is indeed classified as filamentous.
 ## OPTION ANALYSIS
A ✓: Filamentous - This is the correct classification for Ulothrix. Ulothrix forms long, unbranched filaments of cells.
B :x: Colonial - Colonial Chlorophyceae are composed of groups of independent cells, not filaments.
C :x: Unicellular Motile -  Ulothrix is multicellular, not unicellular.
D :x: Unicellular Non-motile - Ulothrix is multicellular, not unicellular.
 ## LEARNING AIDS
 **Common Mistakes**:
  1.Confusing filamentous with colonial:  Understanding the difference between a filament (a chain of cells) and a colony (a group of independent cells) is crucial.
  2.Overlooking the morphological details: Carefully examining microscopic images or descriptions of Ulothrix is essential for accurate classification.
 **Quick Tips**:
  1.Remember the key characteristics of different Chlorophyceae types (filamentous, colonial, unicellular).
  2.Use diagrams and illustrations to visualize the different algal morphologies.
