Q. Chrysophytes store food as which of the following?

NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2020

Solution:

Diatoms and desmids, members of the phylum Chrysophyta, are photosynthetic unicellular organisms. Their chloroplasts, with chlorophyll a and c, as well as carotenoids, resemble those of the brown algae and dinoflagellates. Diatoms and desmids are grouped together because they both produce a unique carbohydrate called chrysolaminarin, i.e., a kind of polysaccharide.
