The nucleus of the cell lies between the anterior lobes of the chloroplast in parallel with the pyrenoid, and some species have developed anterior nuclear lobes. The nucleus is centrally located and is parallel with the flagellar depression and pyrenoid. Additionally, condensed chromatin can be viewed in the nucleus of certain species. See figure 1 for nuclear positioning within cells. The Golgi of "Tetraselmis" species has a distinct number of Golgi bodies usually within the range of 2-4, but species can have up to 8 or more. This is a reliable characteristic that is used to help classify species. Golgi bodies lie between the chloroplast and the basal bodies; cis-Golgi face the chloroplast and trans-Golgi face the basal bodies. Mitochondria are dispersed throughout the cytoplasm in no pattern. The cytoplasm may contain additional organelles and macromolecules such as lipid droplets, vacuoles, and lysosomes. Additionally, the starch produced by "Tetraselmis" is the same as those produced from land plants.
