Stipe, holdfast, and frond are the terms associated with:

Detailed Solution for Test: Algae - Question 12

Correct answer: C. Laminaria (brown algae)

Explanation:
Laminaria, a type of brown algae, has a body structure divided into three parts: the holdfast (which anchors the algae to the substrate), the stipe (a stem-like structure), and the frond (the leaf-like structure).

Test: Algae - Question 13

Leaf like photosynthetic organ is associated with algal group

Detailed Solution for Test: Algae - Question 13

The members of phaeophyceae or brown algae are found primarily in marine habitats. They show great variation in size and form. They range from simple branched, filamentous forms (Ectocarpus) to profusely branched forms as represented by kelps, which may reach a height of 100 metres.They possess chlorophyll a, c, carotenoids and xanthophylls. They vary in colour from olive green to various shades of brown depending upon the amount of the xanthophyll pigment, fucoxanthin present in them. Food is stored as complex carbohydrates, which may be in the form of laminarin or mannitol. The vegetative cells have a cellulosic wall usually covered on the outside by a gelatinous coating of algin. The protoplast contains, in addition to plastids, a centrally located vacuole and nucleus. The plant body is usually attached to the substratum by a holdfast, and has a stalk, the stipe and leaf like photosynthetic organ – the frond.
