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.

As shown many plants of the desert plant Lithops. How many leaves does each plant have? (By the way, even if you grow these in ideal conditions, they never have more than this number.)
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_forwardCan you answer this questionarrow_forwardIf you were to open the container at the end of the stalk shown in the image below, the cells you would find within would eventually grow into: Open me!

- 1.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_forwardhelparrow_forwardAlgae 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?

- 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.
