Identify the 6 characteristics of the present day members of the algae and plant groups

- green algae are part of kingdom Protista, but plants are unicellular

- plants and algae contains chlorophyll, making it green in color

- some generic evidence suggests that green algae evolves to land plants

- 5 characteristics that green algae and land plants share are: clation to charophyceans, multicellular, chlorophyll, cellulose, and photosynthetic

1.Plant can grow both in land and water while algae grow exclusively in water

2.Both plant and algae cell is made of cellulose (25%)  

3.In both plants and algae convert light energy into glucose, which acts as food for further metabolic process

4.  Both fertilizes through male and female gamete

5.Plant possesses vascular system while algae obtain nutrition separately for each cell

6.Algae are partially or completely heterotrophs while green plants are autotrophs

many other transport proteins, often called pumps, move materials against a concentration gradient. active transport drives molecules across a membrane from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration. this process, shown in figure 5.1, uses transport proteins powered by chemi- cal energy.
