Choose the option representing the incorrect match of different feature of major classes of algae.
Class | Cell wall | Dominant pigment |
Chlorophyceae | Cellulose + pectic material | Chl a and b, and carotene |
Phaeophyceae | Silica + pectic material | Chl a and c, carotene |
Rhodophyceae | Pectic material + cellulose | Chl a and d, carotene |
Cyanophyceae | Mucopeptide + Mumaric acid | Chl a, carotene |
B.
Phaeophyceae | Silica + pectic material | Chl a and c, carotene |
Option b is incorrect and can be corrected as cell wall of phaeophyaceae consist of outer mucilaginous layer made up of alginic and fucinic acids. The inner layer is made up of cellulose.
