Red Algae: Characteristics & Habitat — NEET Biology
🔥 Predicted for NEET 2027📖 NCERT Source
The members of rhodophyceae are commonly called red algae because of the predominance of the red pigment, r-phycoerythrin in their body. Majority of the red algae are marine with greater concentrations found in the warmer areas. They occur in both well-lighted regions close to the surface of water and also at great depths in oceans where relatively little light penetrates.
