Solution

Phaeophyceae vary in colour from olive green to various shades of brown depending upon the amount of the xanthophyll pigment, fucoxanthin present in them.

Rhodophyceae occur in both well-lighted regions close to the surface of water and also at great depths in oceans where relatively little light penetrates.

In Chlorophyceae sexual reproduction is of isogamous, anisogamous and oogamous types.
