Select incorrect statement with respect to the following group
of organisms and their characteristics

1. Chrysophyte            –    Includes diatoms and
                                       desmids, Planktonic
                                       organism.
2. Dinoflagellate           –   Mostly marine and
                                       photosynthetic, cell wall has
                                       stiff cellulosic plate
                                       on outer surface.
3. Euglenoids               –  Majority of them are fresh
                                      water, cell wall is absent.
4. Slime mould             –  Saprophytic motile spores
                                       with true walls
