The '''flashcells''' genus group has replaced its ancestors the [[Glacial Flash Cell|glacial flash cell]], [[Hardened Flash Cell|hardened flash cell]], [[Flashlet|flashlet]], [[LadyM Polar Flasher]] and other green photosynthetic microbes. They are the base of many marine ecosystems and live where ever there is sunlight and flowing water, be it the ocean, rivers or lakes. Like its ancestors it absorbs red light with its green chloroplasts and reproduces via binary fission.

Like their ancestors they can produce a flash of light when harmed. This sets off a chain reaction within a cluster thus scaring away any predators with eyes. Most have a strong cell wall while a few just have a squishy cell membrane. Most species within the genus are single cells but some more advanced ones grow in cell clusters.

The flashcells genus group has replaced its ancestors the glacial flash cell, hardened flash cell, flashlet and other green photosynthetic microbes. They are the base of many marine ecosystems and live where ever there is sunlight and flowing water, be it the ocean, rivers or lakes. Like its ancestors it absorbs red light with its green chloroplasts and reproduces via binary fission.

Like their ancestors they can produce a flash of light when harmed. This sets off a chain reaction within a cluster thus scaring away any predators with eyes. Most have a strong cell wall while a few just have a squishy cell membrane. Most species within the genus are single cells but some more advanced ones grow in cell clusters.

They grow in large numbers where nutrients are abundant such as in rivers, lakes and wetlands. When in the ocean they mostly grow where nutrients are brought up from the deep oceans or near river deltas. In the autumn the major "blooms" occur which tint the water a green hue. They are completely immobile and spread by flowing with the currents.
