Question
Chapter 29, Problem 11TYU
Summary Introduction
To explain:
The reason that why the structure of kelps that transport sugar analogous to sieve tube elements has helped in their evolution.
Introduction:
Phloem tissue which is made up of sieve tubes and companion cells, is responsible for the transports of sugars to the whole plant parts. In brown algae, the blades are present which helps in synthesizing sugars in the presence of sunlight by the process of photosynthesis.

SUBJECT: GENERAL BIOLOGY 1 / CAM and C4 Photosynthesis
Plant adaptation is varied among all organisms present on Earth’s fauna. Also,
we can’t deny the fact that as time goes by, the amount of carbon rises making it
more complicated for the rest of organisms to adapt and survive.
In relation to their specialized features, predict how C4 and CAM plants will each respond to a doubling
of the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere.
Which 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 not
How do you recognize the following in a plant cell
a chloroplast
a vacuole
a raphid
a cystolith
Why is the cell wall important in plant design?
In terms of structure and composition, differentiate between primary and secondary cell walls.
Tabulate the differences between typical dicot and typical monocot stems with respect to arrangement of the three tissue systems.

- EVOLUTION LINK The number of protonephridia in a planarian is related to the salinity of its environment. Planaria inhabiting slightly salty water develop fewer protonephridia than those inhabiting less salty water, but the number of protonephridia quickly increases when the concentration of salt in the environment is lower. How is this increase adaptive? Explain.arrow_forwardEVOLUTION LINK Like stems in general, some vines are herbaceous and others are woody. Tropical rain forests have a greater diversity of vines than in any other environment on Earth, and most of these vines are woody. Develop a hypothesis to explain why natural selection has favored the evolution of more species of woody vines (as opposed to herbaceous vines) in tropical rain forests.arrow_forwardTest Your Understanding Know and Comprehend 7.

- 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_forwardA massive extinction of life happened on Earth.

- Put the items in the correct order by increasing size. Below is a sequence of events. Place them in the order they should occur, number 1 being the first item. Select the step number from the drop down next to each item. Items to order: 1. plant cell 2. chlorophyll molecule 3. chloroplast 4. thylakoid membranearrow_forwardWhat are the flaws/is wrong ? Plant cells have a few features that animal cells do not have. They have a cell wall that provides support to the cell and gives it shape. They also can have chloroplasts which are the site photosynthesis. Like animals, plants have specialized tissue that perform specific functions. Xylem transports water from shoots to roots. Phloem transports sugars from leaves to the other parts of the plant. Ground tissue is used for food storage and photosynthesis. Dermal tissue is the outer layer that protects the plant. Meristematic tissue is the site of mitosis and therefore growth for a plant. Apical meristem is found at the tips of roots and shoots and allows them to produce flowers. Lateral meristem is found along the length of the plant and allows it to increase in width. Intercalary meristem is found in nodes along grasses and allows them to grow from the “base”, which is why grass continues to grow after it is cut. Plants have three organs: leaves, stems,…arrow_forwardMany fungi are decomposers and degrade organic matter (such as wood and leaf litter). It has become clear that many of these decomposers are also able to colonize live plants as endophytes (living inside the plant without causing any harm) and allowing for prime access to plant tissues once the plant dies. Explain, using the principles of natural selection, how having the ability to be both a decomposer and endophyte evolved. Make sure you include the four steps of evolution by natural selection in your response.arrow_forward
