What are the differences between green algae and charophytes?
Green algae use each cell to absorb water directly from the source while plants have connective tissue that transport water from the source to all of its parts. The other difference is that plants are multicellular and green algae do have single cells.
What is the sequence that represents the correct order of development of chloroplasts of modern plants from their primitive ancestors?
Cyanobacteria > Red Algae > Green Algae > Land Plants
Is algae in the rainforest green?
because its full of plants and plants are full choraphyll and chloraplats with are green wich causes the plant to become green.
Green algae came from which kingdom?
Green algae belong to Kingdom Protista. Green algae is a very diverse type of algae. Actually, green algae is sort of similar to plants. The green algae contain two forms of chlorophyll and capture light energy to produce sugar in similar with the plant. However, unlike the plants the green algae are aquatic. The species are named algae because they are aquatic and make their own food.
How does green plants and algae get their energy?
Photosynthesis.
What evidence lead scientist to think that green algae were the ancestors of plants?
they have the same photosynthetic pigments.
Green algae often differ from land plants in that some green algae?
Some green algae are unicellular
What is the evolutionary link between aquatic and land plants?
Green algae

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 is the sequence that represents the correct order of development of chloroplasts of modern plants from their primitive ancestors?
Cyanobacteria > Red Algae > Green Algae > Land Plants
Are green algae plants?
Yes they are non-green plantsAdditional answerHey, no. There are plenty of green algae!

Why are green algae classified as plants and not as protists?
Green Algae is not even classified as plants in the first place yah big dummy!
Is algae in the rainforest green?
because its full of plants and plants are full choraphyll and chloraplats with are green wich causes the plant to become green.
Why are green algae classified as plants and not as protist?
Plants enclose and protect the embryo within the female plant while green algae do not.
