Number of cells?

[edit]

If Volvox is an example of a coenobium, then the number of cells must not be fixed; Volvox vary in size & can have up to 50,000 cells. I deleted "fixed" from the lead to be on the safe side, but maybe we need more nuance here (eg "especially those with a small, fixed number of cells"). Or maybe the examples should be edited instead. This will need attn from someone who knows more than I do. Gould363 (talk) 17:02, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
