Identify the incorrect statement regarding green algae?
1. They contain chl a, chl b as well as carotenoids.
2. The chloroplasts may be discoid, plate-like, reticulate, cup-shaped, spiral or ribbon-shaped in different species.
3. Most members have one or more storage bodies called pyrenoids located outside the chloroplasts.
4. They usually have a rigid cell wall made of an inner layer of cellulose and an outer layer of pectose.
