Question

Arun · Answer

Red algae is mostly likely to be found in deep water. This has to do with the different wavelengths of light and how deep they can penetrate water. Red light has the longest wavelength of the visible spectrum which means it penetrates water the least.

Red algae has a component called as phycoerythrin which helps in absorption of short wavelengths of light, thereby allowing red algae to grow in this region.
