The main difference between red brown and green algae is that red algae contain chlorophyll a, chlorophyll d, and phycoerythrin, while brown algae contain chlorophyll a, chlorophyll c, and fucoxanthin and green algae contain chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and xanthophylls. Furthermore, red and brown algae are mainly marine while green algae are chiefly freshwater species. What are Red Algae Red algae or Rhodophyta are one of the three types of seaweeds with brilliant red color. This red color is due to the presence of phycoerythrin, a type of photosynthetic pigment. In addition, red algae contain chlorophyll a, chlorophyll d, β-carotene, and phycocyanin. Moreover, red algae can grow in the deeper sea in contrast to brown and green algae. It is due to their ability to absorb blue light. What Are Green Algae Green algae or Chlorophyta are the green color algae in both freshwater and marine habitats. In addition, some of the green algae live in the moist soil. The three types of cellular organization patterns in green algae are unicellular, colonial or multicellular. Generally, the unicellular forms of green algae including Chlamydomonas contain flagella for their motility. Volvox and Hydrodictyon are the colonial forms of green algae. Some green algae such as Chlorella are non-motile. Questions: How many cells thick do you expect to observe in a cross-section of the red algae Porphyra? A) 3 B) More than 3 C) 1 D) 2 E) 0 Ulva (green algae) is a siphonous alga, and therefore, is acellular consisting of a tube (siphon) with no cross wall cells, as a mass of cytoplasm.
