Q.

Which of the following is incorrectly matched?

  1. A

    Ectocarpus - Fucoxanthin

  2. B

    Ulothrix - Mannitol

  3. C

    Porphyra - Floridean Starch

  4. D

    Volvox - Starch

Solution

Ulothrix is a green alga (Chlorophyceae) and stores its reserve food as starch, not mannitol. Mannitol is the storage product of brown algae (Phaeophyceae).

The other pairings are correct: Ectocarpus (Phaeophyceae) contains fucoxanthin, Porphyra (Rhodophyceae) stores floridean starch, and Volvox (Chlorophyceae) stores starch.
