Answer: 1. true

2. false

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Chrysophytes can be defined as the algae that can be found in the lakes. They have photosynthetic pigments carotenoids which impart golden yellow color to these algae. They are unicellular and also have flagellum that help them in movement in water.

2. Diatoms are unicellular algae. They appear as single individual cells or may appear in colonies with other cells. They can take up any shape based on their alignment pattern. Each cell is surrounded by cell wall that is composed of silica called as frustule. They can be found in fresh or marine water.
