Question

A key difference between green algae and land-based plants is that

A. land-based plants don't have vascular tissue and must absorb nutrients directly from the environment.
B. green algae don't have chloroplasts and absorb their food rather that perform photosynthesis.
C. green algae don't have vascular tissue and must absorb nutrients directly from the environment.
D. land-based plants breath in carbon dioxide while green algae consume oxygen.

Answer 1

The correct answer would be C.

Green algae(or any other type of algae such as red algae, brown algae etc.) don’t have vascular tissue.

Answer 2

C. green algae don't have vascular tissue and must absorb nutrients directly from the environment.

Step-by-step explanation:

Green algae are avascular organisms and lack the vascular tissues, that is they do not have xylem and phloem. They have a simple thalloid body and absorb nutrients from surroundings. On the other hand, the land-based plants have vascular tissues to transport food, water, and minerals from one plant part to the others.
