Ques. 1AIPMT 2015 (Cancelled)

Which one of the following statements is wrong?

  1. Chlorella and Spirulina are used as space food.
  2. Mannitol is stored food in Rhodophyceae.
  3. Algin and carrageenan are products of algae.
  4. Agar-agar is obtained from Gelidium and Gracilaria.

Answer

(2) Mannitol is stored food in Rhodophyceae.

Solution

As per NCERT, the reserve food of Phaeophyceae (brown algae) is laminarin or mannitol, whereas in Rhodophyceae (red algae) food is stored as floridean starch, so "Mannitol is stored food in Rhodophyceae" is wrong.

The other statements are correct: Chlorella and Spirulina are unicellular, protein-rich algae used as food supplements, even by space travellers; algin (brown algae) and carrageen (red algae) are hydrocolloids obtained from algae; and agar is obtained from Gelidium and Gracilaria.
