Red algae photosynthesize at ocean depths greater than any other group of algae and hence can be found in deepest waters because they
| 1. | contain a higher concentration of chlorophyll |
| 2. | have an extremely large surface area to capture the little amount of light that reaches them |
| 3. | contain the pigment phycoerythrin |
| 4. | periodically float to the surface and intercept light, then move back to the ocean floor |
