Question
Algae are single-celled eukaryotic organisms that perform photosynthesis. Some
algae are known as red algae as they appear red in colour. Other algae are known as
green algae as they appear green in colour. Based on this information, which of the
following statements are reasonable? Choose only the best answer.
It is likely that the photosynthetic pigments of red and green algae differ.
It is likely that photosynthesis in red algae is more efficient when they are
illuminated with green light compared to when they are illuminated with red
light.
All of the other statements are reasonable.
It is likely that red algae contain chloroplast.
