The correct Answer is:
To determine the correct components of the cell wall of algae from the given options, we can analyze each option step by step: 1. **Cellulose (a)**: - Cellulose is a polysaccharide that is a major component of the cell walls of many plants and algae. It provides structural support. - **Conclusion**: Cellulose is present in the cell wall of algae. 2. **Galactans (b)**: - Galactans are polysaccharides made up of galactose derivatives. They are also found in the cell walls of various algae, contributing to the structure. - **Conclusion**: Galactans are present in the cell wall of algae. 3. **Calcium Carbonate (c)**: - Calcium carbonate can be found in the cell walls of certain types of algae, particularly in some red algae and coralline algae, where it provides rigidity. - **Conclusion**: Calcium carbonate is present in the cell wall of algae. 4. **Hemicellulose (d)**: - Hemicellulose is a complex carbohydrate that is typically found in the cell walls of higher plants but is not a major component of algal cell walls. - **Conclusion**: Hemicellulose is not present in the cell wall of algae. 5. **Suberine (e)**: - Suberine is a waxy substance found in the cell walls of cork cells and is not associated with algal cell walls. - **Conclusion**: Suberine is not present in the cell wall of algae. 6. **Mannans (f)**: - Mannans are polysaccharides made up of mannose derivatives. They can also be found in the cell walls of certain algae. - **Conclusion**: Mannans are present in the cell wall of algae. ### Final Conclusion: Based on the analysis, the correct components of the cell wall of algae are: - (a) Cellulose - (b) Galactans - (c) Calcium Carbonate - (f) Mannans Thus, the correct combination is: **(a), (b), (c), and (f)**. ---
