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.

Green algae and plants differ in which of the following?
Algae have alternation of generations but land plants do not.
Green algae are often unicellular, while land plants are not.
Land plants have plastids and green algae do not.
Land plants have cell walls containing cellulose but green algae do not.
The chlorophyte (green algae) genera Ulva and Caulerpa both have macroscopic leaf-like and stem-like structures, but only Ulva species are considered truly multicellular. Explain why.

- 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_forward1.Explain how vascular tissue allows vascular plants to be larger than nonvascular plants? Make reference to function of vascular tissue and how nonvascular plants obtain water and nutrients. 2.Describe why diffusion alone is an ineffective strategy to move nutrients/exchange gases in larger multicellular organisms. 3.Using your Life Concept Map as a reference, compare and contrast (give an account of similarities and differences between two items, referring to both items throughout the answer) a representative species from two similar kingdoms. A T chart or table might be a good way to organize your answers.arrow_forwardThe rigidity of a plant as compared to an animal is owed to a plant cell's: A Cytoskeleton Cell wall c) Chloroplast Cell membranearrow_forward
- A student is using a Venn Diagram to communicate understanding of the similarities and differences between fungi and animals. The student placed key characteristics in each circle and classmates are asked to review the work. Fungi Only Animals Only Both May be multicellular or unicellular Eukaryotic Multicellular Can reproduce asexually or sexually No cell wall Has a cell wall Heterotrophic Which feedback would be the MOST accurate? O A. "All animals only reproduce sexually so you need to move 'may reproduce sexually or asexually 'to fungi only." B. "You need to move the term heterotroph to the 'animals' circle because fungi can be heterotrophic or autotrophic." C. "You have all of the information correct." O D. "You should remove 'has a cell wall' because neither fungi nor animals have a cell wall.arrow_forwardMany 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?arrow_forwardAt Walden pond part 2: You gently pull up a plant and see fine white filaments covering the roots (see photos bleow).

- 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_forwardMosses are very good at absorbing water. Peat moss, also known as sphagnum moss, is particularly good at holding water, which is why it is often used in horticulture to improve soil structure and drainage. If you made a wet mount of a sphagnum moss leaf on a microscope slide and observed it with a compound light microscope, it would look like the image on the right. In that image of the magnified leaf, label a water-holding cell, the location of photosynthetic cells, and a reinforcing rib. 5) How do mosses survive without vascular tissue?arrow_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

Name two things found in a plant cell that are not found in an animal cell and state their function and benefit for the plant cell. 2. How does the shape of a plant cell differ from that of an animal cell? Why do think there is a difference in shape? 3. What is the function of the chloroplasts? If a plant had no chloroplast, how could it obtain energy? 4. What is the function of the vacuole? Why are vacuoles much larger in plant cells than animal cells?arrow_forward
