uniform cells. In such species, diffusion effects, which confuse the 

 situation in bulkier algae, are minimized. 



7. Coenocytes 



There are a number of non-cellular plants, classified among the 

 algae and fungi, which consist of either a single unit, or a number 

 of multinucleate units, called "coenocytes". Some of the coenocytic
