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.
