Algae have cell wall made up of
A
Cellulose, hemicellulose and pectins
B
Cellulose, galactans and mannans
C
Hemicellulose, pectins and proteins
D
Pectins, cellulose and proteins
Detailed Solution
NCERT states: 'Algae have cell wall made of cellulose, galactans, mannans and minerals like calcium carbonate, while in other plants it consists of cellulose, hemicellulose, pectins and proteins.'
So cellulose, galactans and mannans are the components characteristic of algal cell walls.
Hemicellulose, pectins and proteins are the components of the cell walls of higher plants.
Hence algae have a cell wall made up of cellulose, galactans and mannans.
