Question

Phycoerythrin and Floridean starch is found in

• A. Red algae
• B. Blue – green algae
• C. Green algae
• D. Brown algae

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Red algae, also known as Rhodophyta, are a group of algae that typically exhibit a red or purplish color due to the presence of pigments such as phycoerythrin. Phycoerythrin is a red pigment that helps red algae absorb light for photosynthesis.
Floridean starch is a type of storage carbohydrate found in red algae. It is a unique form of starch that differs from the starch found in other algae and plants.
Therefore, the correct answer is (A) Red algae.
