The pigments in algae are the most important part of photosynthesis. In both red algae and cyanobacteria the pigments are mostly phycobilins. These are water-soluble pigments, and are therefore found in the cytoplasm, or in the stroma of the chloroplast. They occur only in Cyanobacteria and Rhodophyta ( Red Algae)
What else can I help you with?
Why can red algae live at a greater depth in the ocean than other forms of algae?
Well red algae needs to photosynthesise to stay alive, so it needs to be within the range of the sun. If it does grow deeper than other algal species it may be because it can detect light better than others.
What is the longevity of red algae?
The longevity of Red algae could be anywhere from a few hours, days, or to thousands of years. Some red algae can complete there life cycle in just a few days and then die, but many single celled filamentous algae could live forever.
How many alleles of the cream gene are needed to lighten black pigment to rusty red?

What type of fish eats algae in fresh water lakes?
Many fish eat algae, it depends on which type of algae. But the fish that do eat algae are catfish, red tailed fish, Florida flag fish, and plecos.
Albino eye color?
Albino individuals often have pinkish or red eyes due to the lack of melanin pigment in the iris. Without melanin to provide color, the blood vessels in the retina can show through the iris, giving the appearance of pink or red eyes. This lack of pigment also results in sensitivity to light and poor visual acuity.
Why are blue green algae called cyanobacteria?
Cyanobacteria are called BLUE GREEN algae because Red,Brown,Green and Blue pigments are present in them and that's why they are termed as Red,Blue,Green and Brown algae.TAHIR SAJJAD
What two effects of pigments found in cyanobacteria?
Some have a blue pigment that helps in photosynthesis. This pigment gives those cyanobacteria a blue tint. Other cyanobacteria have red pigment. Flamingos get their pink color by eating red cyanobacteria. or Cyanobacteria lives in water and these bacteria contain the green pigment chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is important to photosynthesis.
Is the brown accessory pigment found in brown algae is phycobilin true or false?
Hell no
What does the red pigment in red algae do?
ok, i am not sure
Why is Lake Natron red?
Cyanobacteria that grow in the shallow have a red pigment that produce the colors.
What is the coloring pigment of the red algae?
phycoerythrin
What is the sequence that represents the correct order of development of chloroplasts of modern plants from their primitive ancestors?
Cyanobacteria > Red Algae > Green Algae > Land Plants
What are the scientific classifications of seaweed?
Most algae, or seaweed contains a chloroplast that is similar to cyanobacteria. Chloroplasts are made up of circular DNA similar to those in cyanobacteria and represent reduced endosymbiotic cyanobacteria.
What are two effects of pigments found in cyanobacteria?
Some have a blue pigment that helps in photosynthesis. This pigment gives those cyanobacteria a blue tint. Other cyanobacteria have red pigment. Flamingos get their pink color by eating red cyanobacteria. or Cyanobacteria lives in water and these bacteria contain the green pigment chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is important to photosynthesis.
What is the special features for red algae?
Red algae have unique characteristics such as the presence of phycoerythrin, a pigment that gives them their red color and allows them to photosynthesize in deep water where other algae cannot. They also have complex life cycles with alternation of generations, and their cell walls are made of cellulose and agar. Additionally, red algae are used in various industries for producing agar-agar, carrageenan, and as a food source in many Asian countries.
What has phycobilins?
Phycobilins are pigment molecules found in red algae, cyanobacteria, and some cryptomonads. They are accessory pigments that help these organisms carry out photosynthesis in low-light environments by absorbing different wavelengths of light than chlorophyll.
What causes red algae to be red?
Red algae contain red pigments called phycoerythrins, which are responsible for their characteristic red color. These pigments help the algae absorb certain wavelengths of light that penetrate deeper in the water column, allowing red algae to thrive in lower light conditions compared to green algae.
