👉 Heterochlorella is a single-celled organism found in freshwater environments, typically on rocks or in aquatic ecosystems. It has two cell types—one cell for photosynthesis and another for respiration. Its cells have a unique structure, with a cytoplasm that contains chloroplasts for photosynthesis and a nucleus for respiration. Heterochlorella is known for its ability to produce complex structures like chitin and silk, which are used in various industries such as textiles and medical devices
