Chlorophycae / Phyaecophyeae / Rhodophycae
CHLOROPHYCEAE
The members of chlorophyceae are commonly called green algae.
✓ discoid , plate like, reticulate Cup shaped in different species.
✓ storage body is called pyrenoids located in the chloroplast. Pyranoids contain protein besides starch.
✓ inner layer of cellulose and outer layer of pectose.
PHYAECOPHYEAE
The members of phyaecophyeae are Blue Algae are found primarily in Marine habitats.
• chlorophyll A
• Xanthophyll pigment , Fucoxanthin.
• form an Laminarin or Mannitol.
• Gelatinous coating of Algin.
• Hold fast and haas a Stalk the stipe and leaf like photosynthesic organ fronds.
• Asexual reproduction in Most brown algae is by bioflagellated zoospores.
• Porioform ( Pear - Shaped )
• Ectocarpus , Dictyota , Laminaria, Saragassum & Fuccus.
RHODOPHYCAE
• The members of rhodophycae are commonly called red Algae.
• because of predominace of the red pigment, r – phycoerythrin in the body.
• Floridean starch which is very similar to amyloprctin and glycogen in structures.
• The reproduce asexually by non-motile spores. And sexually by non – motile.
• Sexual reproduction is oogamous and accompanied by complex post fertilization developments . the common memmbers are Polysiphonia Porphyra. Gracilaria and Gelidium.
