Why is cuticle a useful adaptation in plants but not in algae?
The cuticle is a useful adaptation in plants but not in algae because: in order for plants to live on land, they need a cuticle to prevent water loss during dry climates. Algae live in the water, therefore they don't need a cuticle to survive. They use their adaptations to absorb the water and nutrients around their watery environments. Source: My straight "A" brain
What is the lower plants such as algae?
Algae are plants.
One difference between algae and plants is that?
Algae are plants.
What is the difference between marine algae and marine plants?
The major difference between plants and algae is that plants have connective tissues for the transportation of water in the entire plant body while every cell of algae absorbs water from the source on its own. There is no connective tissue is algae. Secondly, the reproduction system of plants is more developed while that of algae is primitive. Thirdly, algae can be single-celled while plants are multicellular organisms. Another area of difference between plants and algae is photo respiration. Moreover, it is argued by the scientists that algae and plants may share the same ancestor but algae cannot be classified as plants.
What is shared between algae and seed plants?
Both algae and seed plants have cells with chloroplasts.
Why is a cuticle a useful adaptation in plant but not in a algae?

Why is a cuticle a useful adaptation in plants need to survive on land but not algae?
To be more specific, it's a WAXY cuticle. Wax is non-polar, thus hydrophobic.This allows for plants to retain water. Algae do not need to because they're habitually in water.
What is the lower plants such as algae?
Algae are plants.
What is the adaptation for the algae?
camouflage and water absorbing.
What are the adaptation of algae?
calcareous alge adaptations
What continents do not have plants?
