Hints
Consider the following statements about the different classes of algae:
| I: | The members of Chlorophyceae have a rigid cell wall made of an inner layer of cellulose and an outer layer of pectose |
| II: | The members of Rhodophyceae do not have a flagellum |
| III: | Members of Phaeophyceae store food as floridean starch which is very similar to amylopectin and glycogen in structure |
| 1. | Only I and III are correct |
