| 2. | Volvox: | Colonial algae |
| 3. | Ulothrix: | Filamentous algae |
| 4. | Fucus: | Isogamous algae |
Identify the incorrect statement regarding algae:
| 1. | At least a half of the total carbon dioxide fixation on earth is carried out by algae through photosynthesis. |
| 2. | Around 70 species of freshwater algae can be used as food. |
| 3. | Certain marine brown and red algae produce large amounts of hydrocolloids (water holding substances), e.g., algin (brown algae) and carrageen (red algae) which are used commercially. |
| 4. | Agar, obtained from Gelidium and Gracilaria are used to grow microbes and in preparations of ice-creams and jellies. |
Sexual reproduction by non-flagellated but similar in size gametes is seen in:
1. Chlamydomonas
2. Volvox
3. Spirogyra
4. Fucus
Which one of the following statements is wrong?
| 1. | Algae increases the level of dissolved oxygen in the immediate environment |
| 2. | Algin is obtained from red algae and carrageen from brown algae |
| 3. | Agar-agar is obtained from Gelidium and Gracilaria |
| 4. | Laminaria and Sargassum are used as food |
Which one of the following shows isogamy with non-flagellated gametes?
1. Sargassum
2. Ectocarpus
3. Ulothrix
4. Spirogyra
Select the wrong statement.
1. Isogametes are similar in structure, function and behaviour
2. Anisogametes differ either in structure, function and behaviour
3. In oomycetes female gamete is smaller and motile, while male gamete is larger and non-motile
4. Chlamydomonas exhibits both isogamy and anisogamy and Fucus shows oogamy
Isogamous condition with non-flagellated gametes is found in
1. Chlamydomonas
2. Spirogyra
