Detailed explanation-1: -This pigment is primarily seen in marine algae. Brown algae, Diatoms and Dinoflagellates show the presence of chlorophyll c. It is an unusual chlorophyll pigment that has a porphyrin ring.
Detailed explanation-2: -Yellow-green algae are freshwater but some are found in marine and soil habitat and contain Chlorophyll a, c, beta carotene, and carotenoid diadinoxanthin.
Detailed explanation-3: -Chlorophyll c is found in certain marine algae, including the photosynthetic Chromista (e.g. diatoms, brown algae) and dinoflagellates. It acts as an accessory pigment, particularly significant in its absorption of light in the 447-452 nm region [Dougherty70]. Chlorophyll c2 is the most common form of chlorophyll c.
Detailed explanation-4: -All plants, algae, and cyanobacteria which photosynthesize contain chlorophyll “a".
