Which of the following is incorrectly matched?

  1. Ectocarpus - Fucoxanthin
  2. Ulothrix - Mannitol
  3. Porphyra - Floridian Starch
  4. Volvox - Starch

Answer

(2) Ulothrix - Mannitol

Solution

Ectocarpus is a brown alga (Phaeophyceae) – pigment fucoxanthin: correct.

Ulothrix is a green alga (Chlorophyceae) – stored food is starch, not mannitol: incorrect.

Porphyra is a red alga (Rhodophyceae) – stored food floridean starch: correct.

Volvox is a green alga – stored food starch: correct.
