Answer 1

Answer:

Characteristics of Rhodophyceae (Red Algae):

1. Most of the members (more than 98%) are marine and 20 species (as per report) grow in fresh water. The members may grow either as saprophytes, parasites and also as epiphytes.

2. The plant body may be unicellular (Porphyridium) or multicellular. The multi­cellular form may be filamentous (Gonio- trichum), parenchymatous (Porphyra, Crinellia), pseudoparenchymatous (Helmin- thocladia), feathery (Polysiphonia) or ribbon like (Chondrus) (Fig. 3.130).

3. They do not attain the size like that of the brown algae (Phaeophyceae), but may reach up to 2 meters in Schizymenia (Abbott, 1967).
