Volvox is a genus of chlorophytes, a type of green algae.

Each mature Volvox colony is composed of numerous flagellate cells similar to Chlamydomonas, up to 50, 000 in total, and embedded in the surface of a hollow sphere or coenobium containing an extracellular matrix made of a gelatinous glycoprotein.

Volvox is a freshwater alga and is found in ponds and ditches, even in shallow puddles.

It has been said that where you find Lemna, you are likely to find Volvox ; and it is true that such water is favorable, but the shading is unfavorable.

Volvox ( technically a coenobium ) is an example of the border between these two states.

Such groups include the Cladocera, planktonic green algae of which Volvox is readily observable, and the protozoa of which tentor can be easily seen without aid.

Volvox developed its colonial lifestyle.

Ancestors of Volvox transitioned from single cells to form multicellular colonies at least, during the Triassic period.

An estimate using DNA sequences from about 45 different species of Volvox and related species suggests that the transition from single cells to undifferentiated multicellular colonies took about 35 million years.

Volvox colony: 1 ) Chlamydomonas-like cell, 2 ) Daughter colony, 3 ) Cytoplasmic bridges, 4 ) Intercellular gel, 5 ) Reproductive cell, 6 ) Somatic cell.

Volvox species can be monoecious or dioecious.

Antonie van Leeuwenhoek first reported observations of Volvox in 1700.

The molecular and genetic basis of asymmetric cell divisions has also been studied in green algae of the genus Volvox, a model system for studying how unicellular organisms can evolve into multicellular organisms.

In Volvox carteri, the 16 cells in the anterior hemisphere of a 32-cell embryo divide asymmetrically, each producing one large and one small daughter cell.

The Volvocaceae are a family of unicellular or colonial biflagellates, including the typical genus Volvox.

Other examples of colonial organisation in protista are Volvocaceae, such as Eudorina and Volvox, the latter of which consists of up to 500 – 50, 000 cells ( depending on the species ), only a fraction of which reproduce.

By the end of 80s, several metal groups formed in Turkey such as Mezarkabul ( Pentagram ), Diken, Volvox and Dr. Skull.

Among notable jazz musicians and bands are vibraphonist Zoran Madžirov, pianists Dragan Soldatovic – Labish and Simon Kiselicki, bands like Sethstat, Letecki Pekinezeri, La Colonie Volvox among others.

Examples include Volvox and its relatives, Scenedesmus, Pediastrum, and Hydrodictyon.

In botany, in addition to a memoir on the minute structure of Volvox ( 1852 ), his work on the structure of fossil plants established British palaeobotany on a scientific basis ; Williamson ranks with Adolphe Theodore Brongniart as one of its founders.

I want the room in the attic prepared for him He is a most unusual lad, quite precocious in many ways.

In fact it has caused us to give serious thought to moving our residence south, because it is not easy for the most objective Southerner to sit calmly by when his host is telling a roomful of people that the only way to deal with Southerners who oppose integration is to send in troops and shoot the bastards down.

but for this discussion the most important division is between those who have been reconstructed and those who haven't.

But apart from racial problems, the old unreconstructed South -- to use the moderate words favored by Mr. Thomas Griffith -- finds itself unsympathetic to most of what is different about the civilization of the North.

The general acceptance of the idea of governmental ( i.e., societal ) responsibility for the economic well-being of the American people is surely one of the two most significant watersheds in American constitutional history.

Accidental war is so sensitive a subject that most of the people who could become directly involved in one are told just enough so they can perform their portions of incredibly complex tasks.

Even though in most cases the completion of the definitive editions of their writings is still years off, enough documentation has already been assembled to warrant drawing a new composite profile of the leadership which performed the heroic dual feats of winning American independence and founding a new nation.

It is clear that, while most writers enjoy picturing the Negro as a woolly-headed, humble old agrarian who mutters `` yassuhs '' and `` sho' nufs '' with blissful deference to his white employer ( or, in Old South terms, `` massuh '' ), this stereotype is doomed to become in reality as obsolete as Caldwell's Lester.

Presenting an individualized Negro character, it would seem, is one of the most difficult assignments a Southern writer could tackle ; ;

All but the most rabid of Confederate flag wavers admit that the Old Southern tradition is defunct in actuality and sigh that its passing was accompanied by the disappearance of many genteel and aristocratic traditions of the reputedly languid ante-bellum way of life.

Yet often fear persists because, even with the most rigid ritual, one is never quite free from the uneasy feeling that one might make some mistake or that in every previous execution one had been unaware of the really decisive act.

Perhaps the most illuminating example of the reduction of fear through understanding is derived from our increased knowledge of the nature of disease.

The consciousness it mirrors may have come earlier to Europe than to America, but it is the consciousness that most `` mature '' societies arrive at when their successes in technological and economic systematization propel them into a time of examining the not-strictly-practical ends of culture.

And the life they lead is undisciplined and for the most part unproductive, even though they make a fetish of devoting themselves to some creative pursuit -- writing, painting, music.

The music which Lautner has composed for this episode is for the most part `` rather pretty and perfectly banal ''.

Presupposed in Plato's system is a doctrine of levels of insight, in which a certain kind of detached understanding is alone capable of penetrating to the most sublime wisdom.

As long as perception is seen as composed only of isolated sense data, most of the quality and interconnectedness of existence loses its objectivity, becomes an invention of consciousness, and the result is a philosophical scepticism.

And it is precisely in this poorer economic class that one finds, and has always found, the most racial friction.

It is something which most of us try to get out from under.

We assume for this illustration that the size of the land plots is so great that the distance between dwellings is greater than the voice can carry and that most of the communication is between nearest neighbors only, as shown in Figure 2.
