Question

Holdfast, stipe and frond constitute the plant body in case of ______________.

• A. Rhodophyceae
• B. Chlorophyceae
• C. Phaeophyceae
• D. all of these

Answer 1

The correct option is C Phaeophyceae

Phaeophyceae (Brown algae) are eukaryotic marine algae. The body consists of branched filamentous structure in lower forms {e.g. Ectocarpus) and parenchymatous structure in higher forms {e.g. Sargassum). The plant body is often differentiated into holdfast, stipe and lamina (frond). The lamina may be simple or divided variously and is photosynthetic.

So the correct option is C.
