The filamentous algae in the picture exhibit spiral chloroplasts, a characteristic feature of Spirogyra. Spirogyra belongs in the supergroup Archaeplastida along with Ulva, Chlamydomonas, and Volvox, but the latter three do not exhibit spiral chloroplasts like Spirogyra. Plasmodium is a parasitic protozoan and not an algae.
