(b) | Euglenoids | Paramylum and fat |

(d) | Slime moulds | Fucoxanthin |
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsD
Diatoms — Chrysolaminarin and fat → Correct
Euglenoids — Paramylum and fat → Correct
Dinoflagellates — Starch → Correct (many store starch-like reserves)
Slime moulds — Fucoxanthin → Incorrect
Fucoxanthin is a brown carotenoid pigment found in diatoms and brown algae, not in slime moulds. Slime moulds are fungus-like protists and do not store/use fucoxanthin as food reserve.
