Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
C

Storage Food: Red algae (Rhodophyceae) store food in the form of floridean starch, not cyanophycean starch. While floridean starch is indeed very similar to amylopectin and glycogen in structure, cyanophycean starch is the characteristic storage product of blue-green algae (Cyanobacteria).
