Cellular anatomy of  Cryptomonas curvata  (synonym:  Campylomonas rostratiformis ). The ventral view of the organism is illustrated, showing the most representative cellular parts. At the bottom of the image, the anterior view (background on the left) and the unsectioned cell as seen under SEM (background on the right) are shown. These are primarily artistic representations for educational purposes. The colors are not necessarily realistic. However, this organism does have a reddish-brown coloration due to its two chloroplasts.
