- Plants Are Adapted to Life on Land Plants developed from a group of green algae (members of Kingdom Protista) called the charophytes. Like these green algae, plants have a life cycle called the alternation of generations. Draw a diagram of the basic life cycle of a plant, showing the alternation of the sporophyte and gametophyte generations. Unlike green algae that live in water, plants live on land. Being surrounded by air means that they risk losing too much water through evaporation and dying from dehydration. Name 3 characteristics of plants that help them conserve water and protect them from drying.arrow_forwardTrimerophytes were plants that probably evolved from rhyniophytes but with more derived features. In one feature, certain stems grow longer than others, and thus, rather than having dichotomous branching, they have branching (displayed especially by Pertica). Simultaneously, the positioning of branches became more and .arrow_forwardWhat is the dominant phase in the life cycle of a Pterophyte?
