Answer:

Red algae are red because of the presence of the pigment phycoerythrin; this pigment reflects red light and absorbs blue light.

The "green algae" is a paraphyletic group because it excludes the Plantae. ... Like the plants, the green algae contain two forms of chlorophyll, which they use to capture light energy to fuel the manufacture of sugars, but unlike plants they are primarily aquatic.

The brown algae (singular: alga), comprising the class Phaeophyceae, are a large group of multicellular algae, including many seaweeds located in colder waters within the Northern Hemisphere. Most brown algae live in marine environments, where they play an important role both as food and as a potential habitat.
