Vedclass · Answer

(C) The penetration of light into the ocean decreases with depth. Green algae $(Chlorophyceae)$ contain chlorophyll $a$ and $b$ and are typically found in shallow waters. Brown algae $(Phaeophyceae)$ contain chlorophyll $a, c$ and fucoxanthin,allowing them to survive at moderate depths. Red algae $(Rhodophyceae)$ contain chlorophyll $a, d$ and the pigment phycoerythrin. Phycoerythrin is capable of absorbing blue and green light,which are the wavelengths that penetrate the deepest into the ocean water. Therefore,red algae are adapted to survive in the deepest waters where other algae cannot.
