The correct Answer is:
To determine which group of organisms contains phycobilins, we need to analyze the options provided and identify which of them includes organisms known to possess these pigments. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Phycobilins**: - Phycobilins are water-soluble pigments found in certain algae. They are primarily present in the cytoplasm or stroma of chloroplasts and are characteristic of two main groups: cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) and rhodophyta (red algae). 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option 1**: Anabina, Gelidium, Nereocystis, Zoochlorilla - Anabina is a cyanobacterium, but Gelidium (a red algae) and Nereocystis (a brown algae) do not contain phycobilins. Zoochlorilla is not a recognized group that contains phycobilins. - **Option 2**: Nostoc, Porphyra, Chondrus, Batrachospermum - Nostoc is a cyanobacterium, Porphyra (red algae), Chondrus (red algae), and Batrachospermum (red algae) all contain phycobilins. This group consists entirely of organisms that possess phycobilins. - **Option 3**: Oscillatoria, Sargassum, Volvox, Fucus - Oscillatoria is a cyanobacterium, but Sargassum (brown algae), Volvox (green algae), and Fucus (brown algae) do not contain phycobilins. - **Option 4**: None of the above - This option can be dismissed as we have already identified a group that contains phycobilins. 3. **Conclusion**: - The only group where all organisms contain phycobilins is **Option 2: Nostoc, Porphyra, Chondrus, Batrachospermum**. ### Final Answer: **Option 2: Nostoc, Porphyra, Chondrus, Batrachospermum**
