List I	List II
(A) Chlorophylls a & c, fucoxanthin and mannitol	(I) Porphyra
(B) Chlorophylls a & d, phycoerythrin and floridian starch	(II) Volvox
(C) Chlorophylls a & b, pyrenoids with starch and proteins	(III) Hibiscus
(D) Chlorophylls a & b, carotene and xanthophylls, leucoplasts store carbohydrates, fats and proteins	(IV) Dictyota (V) Anabaena

• A. A-V, B-IV, C-II, D-III
• B. A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III
• C. A-II, B-I, C-IV, D-V
• D. A-IV, B-III, C-V, D-I

Answer 1

The correct option is B A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III

Chlorophyll a, c, fucoxanthin and carotenoids are the photosynthetic pigments found in the Dictyota (amember of Phaeophyceae. Mannitol is found as the stored food in them. Chlorophyll pigment a, d and phycoerythrin are found in the members of red algae (rhodophyceae) like Porphyra. Floridean starch is found as the food storage in them. Chlorophyll pigment a,b and pyrenoids with starch and proteins as stored food is found in the members of Chlorophyceae, like Volvox. Chlorophyll pigment a,b, carotene and xanthophyll, Hibiscus is a flowering plant in which chlorophyll pigments a, b, carotene and xanthophyll are found. Leucoplast store carbohydrates, fats and proteins as reserve food. So, the correct option is B.
