Select the incorrect statement for the given figure , choose the correct option:
Options
- AAlong with many species of other algae this algae is also used as food.
- BThe food is stored as floridean starch which is very similar to amylopectin and glycogen in structure.
- CMajority of the algae of this class are brackish with greater concentrations found in the warmer areas.
- DSexual reproduction is oogamous and accompanied by complex post fertilisation developments.
Correct answer
C. Majority of the algae of this class are brackish with greater concentrations found in the warmer areas.
Step-by-step solution
Many species of Porphyra, Laminaria and Sargassum are among the 70 species of marine algae used as food.The members of rhodophyceae are commonly called red algae because of the predominance of the red pigment, r-phycoerythrin in their body. Majority of the red algae are marine with greater concentrations found in the warmer areas. The food is stored as floridean starch which is very similar to amylopectin and glycogen in structure. Sexual reproduction is oogamous and accompanied by complex post fertilisation develo
