Both plants and blue-green algae are photosynthetic but are classified as separate kingdoms. Which statement identifies a characteristic that distinguishes blue-green algae from plants? (a) Plants have specialized tissues and organs and blue-green algae do not.

(b) Plants lack membrane-bound organelles and blue-green algae contain membrane-bound organelles.

(c)Blue-green algae are better than plants at moving from place to place.

(d) Blue-green algae use their chlorophyll differently from plants.

The statement 'plants have specialized tissues and organs and blue-green algae do not' identifies a characteristic that distinguishes algae from plants. They are different groups.
