In all members of algae inner cell wall is cellulosic however outer cell wall can be of different types. In green algae outer cell wall is made up of
1. | Pectin | 2. | Algin |
3. | Agar | 4. | Funor |
Green algae can store food in all of the following forms, except
1. | Protein | 2. | Starch |
3. | Oil droplets | 4. | Mannitol |
The main photosynthetic pigments of green algae are
1. | Chl a & b | 2. | Chl a & c |
3. | Chl a & d | 4. | Chl c only |

1. | Cycas is a gymnosperm and Pinus is a pteridophyte |
2. | The gametophyte is dominant in the life cycle of Cycas and the sporophytes is dominant in the life cycle of Pinus |
3. | Roots of Pinus have mycorrhiza association and coralloid roots of Cycas are associated with nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria |
4. | In Pinus, the male and female cones are borne on different trees and in Cycas on the same tree |
1. | do not possess vascular tissues |
2. | have a dominant gametophyte in their life cycle |
3. | produce two kinds of spores |
4. | have macrophylls |
1. | Isogamy with flagellated gametes | Volvox |
2. | Isogamy with non-flagellated gametes | Ulothrix |
3. | Anisogamy | Udorina |
4. | Oogamy | Spirogyra |
1. | Floridean starch as stored food |
2. | Phycoerythrin in addition to chlorophyll a, c |
3. | 2, unequal, lateral flagellar insertions |
4. | Polysulphate esters in cell wall |
1. | Chara | 2. | Fucus |
3. | Porphyra | 4. | Ectocarpus |
