Algae Classification and Pigments Analysis
This question requires identifying correct statements about different groups of algae and their characteristic pigments.
Statement Analysis:
- Statement A: Members of Chlorophyceae are commonly called green algae. This is correct, as they contain chlorophylls a and b, similar to land plants.
- Statement B: Members of Phaeophyceae are known as brown algae. This is correct, due to the presence of fucoxanthin, a brown pigment.
- Statement C: Chlorophyll 'c' is the major pigment of green algae. This is incorrect. Green algae's major pigments are chlorophyll 'a' and 'b'. Chlorophyll 'c' is found in brown and diatoms.
- Statement D: Members of Rhodophyceae are called red algae. This is correct, owing to the presence of phycoerythrin, a red pigment.
- Statement E: Chlorophyll 'b' is the major pigment of brown algae. This is incorrect. Brown algae primarily have chlorophyll 'a' and 'c', along with fucoxanthin. Chlorophyll 'b' is characteristic of green algae.
