Are green algae multicellular?
Green Algae is unicellular because it only grows on non-vascular plants which are plants with no tubes to carry nu trains and oxygen.
What type of algae are most closely related to green plants?
Green algae due to the presence of chlorophyll a and b, as well as the presence of a 'whip-like' flagella; 'higher plants' and green algae share these characteristics.
What evidence lead scientist to think that green algae were the ancestors of plants?
they have the same photosynthetic pigments.
What plants and algae can be found in the polar ice regions?
In the Arctic there are many different plants like flowers, shrubs, bushes, and grass. But in Antarctica you will only find two plants they mainly live on the coast: 1) Deschampsia Antarctica 2) Colobanthus Quitensis
Why do biologists classify red and green algae with land plants?
Red and green algae are photosynthetic and are thus autotrophs. Otherwise, they are aquatic and (in the case of green algae) can be unicellular. But these are similarities that are not sufficient to define algae as true plants. All plants in the Kingdom Plantae are multicellular and terrestrial (ancestrally terrestrial in the case of waterlilies). Green algae are important in the study of plants as they show the base of the plant kingdom, hinting at what a common ancestor to the whole kingdom may have looked like. In particular, the charophytes are probably close to the common ancestor of all land plants. Thus, in the study of land plants, green algae can be considered the most recently diverged outgroup. And, earlier still, red algae diverged.
What kind plants are most like algae?
mosses

Why is sunlight important to plantlike protists?
Plantlike protists, which are commonly called algae, are extremely diverse. Like plants, algae are autotrophs. Most are able to use the sun's energy to make their own food.
What might happen in a lake where plants and algae are growing?
Plants and algae can produce a slimy substance in a lake. Blue-green algae is the most dangerous type of algae for a lake to have because it can produce toxins.
How is a lichen different from most other plants?
Lichen is a mixture of algae / cyanobacteria and fungi. Lichens may look like plants but they do not reproduce with flowers. Lichens do not have roots like plants. They grow on plants as a substrate not as a parasite.
What encloses the cells of plants algae fungis and most types of bacteria?
encloses the cells of plants, algae, fungi, and most bacteria
What evidence lead scientist to think that green algae were the ancestors of plants?

What are the 3 most important plants in coral reefs?
Seagrasses Kelp Marine Algae and Seaweed are the main plants in coral reefs

Do all plants have cells?
There are many types of single celled plants, the majority of which are algae, and they are the most abundant plant life on earth
