Chlamydomonas, a unicellular green alga, moves through water using two whip-like structures called flagella. These flagella beat in a coordinated manner, allowing the organism to propel itself in a forward motion. The movement can be adjusted in response to environmental stimuli, such as light or chemicals, enabling Chlamydomonas to navigate toward favorable conditions. This motility is crucial for its survival and reproduction in aquatic environments.
