The correct Answer is:
To answer the question "Spiral shaped chloroplast is found in which of the following algae?", we will analyze the options provided and identify the correct answer step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Question**: The question is asking about the type of chloroplast shape found in certain algae, specifically looking for a spiral shape. 2. **Evaluate the Options**: - **Option A: Spirogyra**: This is a type of green algae known for its ribbon-shaped chloroplasts that are arranged in a helical manner. This arrangement gives them a spiral appearance. - **Option B: Chlamydomonas**: This algae has cup-shaped chloroplasts, which do not fit the description of spiral-shaped. - **Option C: Oedogonium**: This type of algae has reticulate (net-like) chloroplasts, which also do not match the spiral shape. - **Option D: Ulothrix**: This algae has girdle-shaped or band-shaped chloroplasts, which again do not correspond to the spiral shape. 3. **Identify the Correct Answer**: From the evaluation, it is clear that Spirogyra is the only option that has chloroplasts arranged in a manner that gives them a spiral shape. Therefore, the correct answer is **Option A: Spirogyra**. ### Final Answer: The spiral-shaped chloroplast is found in **Spirogyra**.
