| Column I | Column II | |
| 1. | Main photosynthetic pigment | Chlorophyll a, b |
| 2. | Cell wall | Inner layer of cellulose and outer layer of pectose |
| 3. | Stored food | Starch |
| 4. | Flagellar number and insertion | 2-8. unequal. basal |
| 1. | Major pigments are chlorophyll a, c, fucoxanthin |
| 2. | Food is stored as complex carbohydrates which may be in the form of Laminarin or Mannitol |

Sexual reproduction is oogamous and accompanied by complete post-fertilization developments in the members of:
| 1. | Chlorophyceae |
| 2. | Phaeophyceae |
| 3. | Rhodophyceae |
| 4. | Both Chlorophyceae and Phaeophyceae |
| 1. | Red algae | 2. | Green algae |
| 3. | Brown algae | 4. | Blue green algae |
| 1. | They are dependent on water for sexual reproduction. |
| 2. | Archegonium is flask shaped and produces multiple eggs. |
| 3. | Sporophyte is attached to the photosynthetic gametophytes and derives nourishment from it. |
| 4. | The antherozoids are released into water. |
