What protists are considered to be ancestors of land plants?
green algea
Which group of algae is considered the Sister group of land plants What are all land plants called collectively?
Green algae or Chlorophytes
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 it true about half the photosynthesis on earth is performed by phytoplankton?
Yeah buddie. And the other half is preformed by the lovely land plants that cause us to thrive. XD
Which type of algae branched off to become land plants?
green:)
Which trait is not common to all green algae and land plants?
Contain vascular tissue
Does animals undergo photosynthesis?
No. The only living organisms that undergo phtosythesis are plants on land and phytoplankton in water.
Green algae often differ from land plants in that some green algae?
Some green algae are unicellular
Green land plants?
autotrophs
What do seedless vascular plants and vascular plants have in common?
Nonvascular plants and seedless vascular plants are both land plants that evolved from green algae. Both types also rely on water to be able to reproduce.
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 evidence that land plants evolved from green algae?
Many scientists believe that ancient green algae evolved into land plants. The chloroplasts present in green algae are the same as those of land plants. In addition, green algae have cell walls of similar composition to land plants; both store food, such as starch, in the same manner. Most green algae live in freshwater habitats with highly variable conditions. The ongoing changes in their environment have made them highly adaptable.what-evidence-has-led-scientists-to-believe-land-plants-evolved-from-green-algae
What protists are considered to be ancestors of land plants?
green algea
In what ways did land plants need to be different from green algae?
Green algae absorbs oxygen from the surrounding water. Land plants had to evolve to absorb oxygen from the air.
Which protists are in the same eukaryotic supergroup as land plants?
Green and red algae are in the same eukaryotic supergroup as land plants.
Which group of algae is considered the Sister group of land plants What are all land plants called collectively?
Green algae or Chlorophytes
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
