Which microorganism is shown in the image as being spherical and green?
A
Yeast
B
Chlamydomonas
C
Chlorella
D
Amoeba
Answer
Chlamydomonas
Explanation
Solution
The image displays spherical microorganisms. Yeast are spherical or oval but not green. Amoeba have irregular shapes and are not green. Both Chlamydomonas and Chlorella are spherical and green algae. However, Chlamydomonas is typically motile with flagella, while Chlorella is non-motile. Without clear visibility of flagella in the image, and given that Chlamydomonas is a common example of spherical green algae, it is the most likely identification.
