The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Which of the following is not correctly matched?" we need to analyze each option provided regarding the stored food of the given organisms. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Organisms and Their Stored Foods:** - **Option 1: Diatoms - Chrysolaminarin and Fat** - Diatoms primarily store food in the form of **chrysolaminarin** and **fats**. This option is correctly matched. - **Option 2: Euglenoids - Paramylon and Fat** - Euglenoids store food as **paramylon** and some fats. This option is also correctly matched. - **Option 3: Dinoflagellates - Starch** - Dinoflagellates primarily store food as **starch**. This option is correctly matched as well. - **Option 4: Slime Molds - Phycogentin** - Slime molds store food as **glycogen** and **oil**. The term **phycogentin** is incorrect in this context as it refers to a pigment found in brown algae, not a stored food in slime molds. Thus, this option is not correctly matched. 2. **Conclusion:** - The incorrect match is found in **Option 4**: Slime Molds - Phycogentin. The correct stored foods for slime molds are glycogen and oil. ### Final Answer: The option that is not correctly matched is **Option 4**: Slime Molds - Phycogentin. ---
