In all members of algae inner cell wall is cellulosic however outer cell wall can be of different types. In green algae outer cell wall is made up of
(1) Pectin
(2) Algin
(3) Agar
(4) Funor
Green algae can store food in all of the following forms, except
1. Protein
2. Starch
3. Oil droplets
4. Mannitol
The main photosynthetic pigments of green algae are
(1) Chl a & b
(2) Chl a & c
(3) Chl a & d
(4) Chl c only

1. | Cycas is a gymnosperm and Pinus is a pteridophyte |
2. | The gametophyte is dominant in the life cycle of Cycas and the sporophytes is dominant in the life cycle of Pinus |
3. | Roots of Pinus have mycorrhiza association and coralloid roots of Cycas are associated with nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria |
4. | In Pinus, the male and female cones are borne on different trees and in Cycas on the same tree |
