One of the prettiest creatures you may catch sight of is a tumbling, crystalline, globe-shaped alga known as volvox. |
Volvox can be found in ponds, puddles, and bodies of still fresh water throughout the world. |
In all of these the structure of the cells is essentially as in volvox. |
That is, a simple alga like Volvox and a complex metazoan like an octopus both occupy the same sublevel. |
Of the forms that are united in colonies one of the best known is volvox. |
This, it is affirmed by Dr. Hicks, takes place in volvox, under circumstances which suggest a vegetable transformation. |
