Which one of the following is a characteristic feature of chrysophytes?
They are parasitic forms which cause diseases in animals.
They have a protein rich layer called pellicle.
They have indestructible wall layer deposited with silica.
They are commonly called dinoflagellates.
Correct Answer :
C. They have indestructible wall layer deposited with silica.
Chrysophytes belong to the kingdom protista. Examples are diatoms and golden algae. Their walls are embedded with silica and thus the walls are indestructible.
