[size=2][font=宋体][font=Calibri]Green seaweed is the largest seaweed. This group of seaweed varies in size and shape and includes unicellular (Chlamydomonas, desmids), colonial (Hydrodictyon, Volvox), filamentous (Spirogyra, Cladophora) and tubular (Acetabularia, Caulerpa, Ulva) forms. Green seaweed lives in aquatic environments. Like plants, green seaweed contains two forms of chlorophyll, which they use to capture light energy to boost sugar production. However, unlike plants, they are mainly aquatic. Photosynthetic pigments (chlorophyll a and b, carotene, and lutein I) are present in green algae in the same proportions as higher plants. Typical green algal cells can be motile or non-motile, with a central vacuole. The pigment contained in the plastid varies from species to species and is characterized by a two-layered cell wall of cellulose and pectin. Green seaweed are the most diverse algae, with 9000-12000 species growing in a variety of habitats.[/font][/font][/size]
