Detailed explanation-1: -The Floridean starch is a form of storage glucan that is found in red algae and glaucophytes.
Detailed explanation-2: -Floridean starch is found in Rhodophyceae or red algae. The chlorophyceae are one of the classes of green algae, distinguished mainly on the basis of ultrastructural morphology.
Detailed explanation-3: -Red algae (Rhodophyceae) are photosynthetic eukaryotes that accumulate starch granules outside of their plastids. The starch granules from red algae (floridean starch) show structural similarities with higher plant starch granules but lack amylose.
Detailed explanation-4: -Floridean starch is a type of a storage glucan found in glaucophytes and in red algae (or rhodophytes), in which it is usually the primary sink for fixed carbon from photosynthesis.
