Sexual reproduction is oogamous and accompanied by complete post-fertilization developments in the members of:
| 1. | Chlorophyceae |
| 2. | Phaeophyceae |
| 3. | Rhodophyceae |
| 4. | Both Chlorophyceae and Phaeophyceae |
| 1. | Polysiphonia | 2. | Laminaria |
| 3. | Gracilaria | 4. | Gelidium |
| 1. | Red algae | 2. | Green algae |
| 3. | Brown algae | 4. | Blue green algae |
Red algae photosynthesize at ocean depths greater than any other group of algae and hence can be found in deepest waters because they
| 1. | contain a higher concentration of chlorophyll |
| 2. | have an extremely large surface area to capture the little amount of light that reaches them |
| 3. | contain the pigment phycoerythrin |
| 4. | periodically float to the surface and intercept light, then move back to the ocean floor |
