The role played by phycobillin is same as that of chrorophyll whic is its involvemnt in light requiring reactions in photosynthesis.

9) There is tremendous importance of algae:

a.) Green algae serves as the producer of oxygen.

b.) It is used to lower the pH of land which when is not culitvable termed as USAR Land but when its pH is lowered by algal growth it can be cultivable.
