Question

Give the summary account of the photosynthetic pigmenta, storage material and complexity of structure in different groups of algae

Answer 1

Answer:                

chlorophyceae =   green algae is common name

                               chlorophyll a, b is major pigment

                              starch is stored food

                                 cellulose is cell wall

                                2-8 eqal apical  is flagellar no and position of insertions

                                freash water , salt water  is habitat

phaeophyceae=   brown algae is common name

                              a,c fucoxantin  is major pigment

                               mannitol, laminarin  is stored food

                               cellulose and algin  is cell wall

                                2 unequal lateral  is flagellar no and position of insertions

                                 salt water is habitat

rhodophyceae=      red algae is common name

                                a, d , phycoerythrin  is major pigment

                                 floridean , starch is stored food

                                cellulose , pectin and polysuphate esters is cell wall

                                absent  is flagellar no and position of insertions

                                freash water , salt water is habitat
