Many people consider algae to be plants even though algae do not have roots, stems, and leaves, but in many algae, cell division is different from that in true plants. Do most algae have a phragmoplast? What is the name of the structure they use?
the cells of the aquatic plant Elodea.
Name the rounded green organelles in this photo.
Name the pigment that makes them look green.
What is the function of these organelles in the cell?
Based on a video showing motion in the cells of the Elodea leaf, describe this motion.

- Why is charophyte green algae (CGA) considered to be the closest living relatives to the land plants?arrow_forwardThe interior tissues of a leaf are called mesophyll. In most leaves, there is an upper layer of columnar cells called the _________________________________________ and a lower portion of _____________ ______________ open, loose aerenchyma. “Botany and Beyond: Leaf Structure, Layer by Layer,” the upper layer of columnar cells, but they do not look columnar. Why not? the box shows the lower aerenchymatous layer.

- Algae are autotrophs and can have photosynthesis, however, evolutionary evidence suggests that plants shared a common ancestor with only green algae and are closest relatives of Charophytes. What evidences support this statement? How an algal cell is different from fungal cells, even if both are eukaryotes? Why slime mold is a protist not a fungus even if it does not have chloroplast?arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements correctly describes one difference between green algae and land plants? A. green algae are often unicellular, while land plants are not B. land plants have plastids and green algae do not C. algae have alternation of generations but land plants do not D. land plants have cell walls containing cellulose but green algae do notarrow_forwardPlants in Clade Streptophyta and the green algae share a number of common traits, except for which choice? -both have cellulose in their cell walls. -both are multicellular -both are autotrophic. -both have apical meristems -both have chlorophyll a and b.arrow_forward
- Chara is an unusual alga. What type of cell division do members of Charophyceae undergo—division with a phycoplast or phragmoplast? What is important about their flagella?
