What is the difference between marine algae and marine plants?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Marine algae are simple, photosynthetic organisms that lack true roots, stems, and leaves, such as seaweed. Marine plants are more complex, multicellular organisms with roots, stems, and leaves, such as seagrasses. While both contribute to marine ecosystems, marine algae are typically found in intertidal and subtidal zones, while marine plants are found in shallow coastal waters.

Answer 3

marine algae lipid is more than freshwater algae and marine algae is resistant to infection
