does red and brown algae contain chlorophyll????!!!!?

Answer 1

Yes, all algae contain chlorophyll. The pigments of red and brown algae mask the predominant green photosynthetic pigments. Algae are simple chlorophyll-containing organisms composed of one cell, or grouped together in colonies, or as organisms with many cells, sometimes forming simple tissues (Note: algae is plural, alga is singular). They differ from seagrasses in that they lack true roots, stems, and leaves. Algae are classified into phyla based on their dominant photosynthetic pigments and include green algae (Chlorophyta), brown algae (Phaeophyta), and red algae (Rhodophyta). These three phyla or divisions are macroscopic and easily visible with the naked eye. All algal groups have chlorophyll in either the a,b or c form as their primary photosynthetic pigment. Green algae typically contain chlorophyll a and b. Brown algae have a and c, and red algae typically have chlorophyll a only.

Answer 2

Hi. I believe ALL algae contain chlorophyll. Descendants of the original blue-green strain.

Answer 3

Yes, they just contain other pigments as well which mask the color of green chlorophyll. such as fucoxanthin and beta carotene for example.

Answer 4

algea, any of it, does not contain chlorophyll, because, algea is in the kingdom of protista (linneau's classifaciton system) and only the plantae kingdom has this.

Answer 5
