Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Red algae contain the photosynthetic pigment phycoerythrin and can change their pigment concentrations as a function of light intensity. They do not have motile gametes, but they do have non-motile ones. They do contain other pigments, including chlorophyll, but not in the same proportions as other algae or plants.
