The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Organisms**: - Desmids are a type of green algae that are primarily found in freshwater environments such as ponds, rivers, and lakes. - Diatoms are a group of microalgae that are found in both marine and freshwater environments but are commonly associated with phytoplankton in deep lakes and oceans. 2. **Habitat Analysis**: - The statement claims that "all desmids are found in marine habitat." This is incorrect because desmids are predominantly found in freshwater habitats, not marine ones. - The statement about diatoms being found as phytoplankton in large deep lakes is correct, as diatoms thrive in various aquatic environments, including deep lakes. 3. **Photosynthesis and Nutrition**: - Both desmids and diatoms are autotrophic organisms, meaning they produce their own food through photosynthesis using chlorophyll. - While diatoms can be found in benthic (bottom-dwelling) environments, they are also prevalent in the water column as phytoplankton, where they utilize sunlight for photosynthesis. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since the statement incorrectly identifies the habitat of desmids, it can be concluded that the statement is false. Therefore, the correct answer is that the statement is false. ### Final Answer: The statement "All desmids are found in marine habitat but diatoms are found as phytoplankton large in deep lakes" is **false**. ---
