- Spirogyra
- Oscillatoria
- Ulothrix
- Chlorella
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Hormogones are small pieces of trichomes with one to many uniform cells provided with delicate, sometimes not easily perceptible, mucilaginous sheath. The formation of hormogonia is known only within the members of Nostocales and Stigonematales. Hormogonia are formed either by formation of special biconcave separation disc or by the death of one or more intercalary cells. They may be formed irregularly as in Nostoc, Oscillatoria and Lyngbya , on apical portion of branches as in Scytonema , on special branches as in Stigonema or from the intercalary meristematic zone as in Rivularia .

Concepts Used:
Plant Kingdom
The Plant Kingdom comprises all the plants that have some shared characteristics. These are bacteria (prokaryotes), photosynthetic plants, fungi, and several non-photosynthetic plants.

Several features of Kingdom Plantae are as follows:
- They are stationary. They are static and usually remain in one place only.
- They have branches that expanded and green leaves due to the presence of chlorophyll.
- They are an autotrophic mode of nutrition that simply means they prepare their food with the help of water, sunlight and carbon dioxide. It is further known as self-nutrition.
- They indulge in photosynthesis during the day and therefore more carbon dioxide is needed during the day and at night it is released.
- They secure their food in the form of starch-like algae.
- They have an inelastic wall around their cell known as a cell wall comprised of cellulose.
- There is an absence of the nervous system and excretory system.
- Reproduction is entirely dependent on air, insects and water. Asexual and vegetative method of reproduction is noticed or detected.
- The non-photosynthetic plants acquire their food through parasitism, i.e through their host like Indian pipe.
