⏬⏬ANSWER⏬⏬

The presence or absence of pigments is the main basis of classification of algae.

• Chlorophyceae: Chlorophyll a and b are present in them and impart green colour.
Chlorophyceae are also called ‘blue-green algae’.

• Phaeophyceae: Chlorophyll a and c and fuxoxanthin are present. Fuxoxanthin imparts brown colour. Phaeophyceae are also called ‘brown algae’.

• Rhodophyceae: Chlorophyll a and d and phycoerythrin are present. Phycoerythrin imparts red colour. Rhodophyceae are also called ‘red algae’.
