Identify the incorrect statement regarding algae:
| 1. | At least a half of the total carbon dioxide fixation on earth is carried out by algae through photosynthesis. |
| 2. | Around 70 species of freshwater algae can be used as food. |
| 3. | Certain marine brown and red algae produce large amounts of hydrocolloids (water holding substances), e.g., algin (brown algae) and carrageen (red algae) which are used commercially. |
| 4. | Agar, obtained from Gelidium and Gracilaria are used to grow microbes and in preparations of ice-creams and jellies. |
What is not true for red algae?
1. Lack centriole and flagella
2. Accessory pigments include phycocyanin, phycoeythrin and allophycocyanin
3. They reproduce using alternation of generation
4. The stored food is floridean starch very similar to cellulose
Identify the incorrect statement regarding green algae?
1. They contain chl a, chl b as well as carotenoids.
2. The chloroplasts may be discoid, plate-like, reticulate, cup-shaped, spiral or ribbon-shaped in different species.
3. Most members have one or more storage bodies called pyrenoids located outside the chloroplasts.
4. They usually have a rigid cell wall made of an inner layer of cellulose and an outer layer of pectose.
Consider the following statements regarding brown algae:
| I. | The pigments are chl a, c and xanthophylls, fucoxanthin |
| II. | Storage food is laminarin and mannitol |

| IV. | They have a centrally located vacuole |
| V. | Their photosynthetic organs are called as fronds - leaf like structures |
