The cells are about 2-4 micrometers in diameter and are surrounded by a cell wall. Desmids are colonial organisms that reproduce asexually by cell division.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Desmids_Reproduction\"><\/span>Desmids Reproduction<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Desmids reproduce asexually by fragmentation (splitting into two or more pieces) and by the production of resting spores. Fragmentation can occur when a desmid is physically damaged or when it separates from a parent colony. Resting spores are produced by desmids that have been disturbed, such as by being turned over, and are capable of surviving harsh environmental conditions, such as drying and freezing.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Desmids_Location\"><\/span>Desmids Location<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The desmids are a type of green algae that are found in freshwater habitats all over the world. They can be distinguished from other algae by their unique cell shape, which is elongated and slightly curved. Desmids typically grow in colonies of small cells that are linked together to form filaments or chains.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Desmids_in_Food_Web\"><\/span>Desmids in Food Web<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Desmids are a type of green algae that are found in freshwater environments.
