The sphrioo split from its ancestor and acquired a new shape, remaining joined in a sphere formed by a chain of cells. The inner part has many microvilli that help to hold a purse of air in the hollow core of the sphere. Part of the oxygen produced by the photosynthesis will remain into the sphere and slowly diffuses to the outer side by the pores in the poles; into the sphere, the air heats and helps it to float to surface and get more sunlight. It reproduces via mitosis, forming two new organisms by splitting from the equatorial region. The sphrioo has a quite random pattern of movement, always trying to roll toward the light source aided by its long flagella.
