👉 Ophioceras is a class of protists that are characterized by their specialized adaptations for growth, development, and reproduction, including the presence of a complex, multi-cellular cell wall composed of cellulose, which forms a tough outer shell. These cells are large in size and have multiple nuclei, with some species also having mitochondria. The ophioceras is often associated with the formation of the first multicellular organisms, such as the first eukaryotes.
