Ectocarpus. — This form (Fig. 276), although belonging to the same order, contrasts strikingly in size with the Kelps, for it is a slender filamentous form not much larger than some of the Green Algae. This form also show^s some interesting features in connec- tion with reproduction which is effected through the production of both zoospores and gametes. The zoospores are produced in certain cells which become trans- formed into sporangia. In forming a sporangium, a single cell within the filament or at the end of a branch usually enlarges and its protoplasm divides up into zoospores. The zoospores bear their cilia laterally and not terminally as in the Green Algae, but function in the same way by growing directly into new Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Martin, John N.
