Answer to Problem 1MCQ

Correct answer:

The feature that is not common to land plants and green algae is the presence of cuticle and stomata. Hence, the correct answer is option d.

Explanation of Solution

Reason for correct answer:

Option d. is given as, “The presence of cuticle and stomata.”

The green algae do not contain highly developed structures like the advanced lands plants; therefore, it does not possess cuticle and stomata that are present in land plants.

Reason for incorrect answer:

Option a. is given as, “Photosynthesis.”

Photosynthesis is present in both green algae and land plants as they both contain the pigment chlorophyll that helps in the process. Hence, option a. is incorrect.

Option b. is given as, “Starch as a form of stored energy.”

Starch is stored in both land plants as well as in green algae, as both of them synthesis glucose through photosynthesis which converts to starch and is stored in different parts. Hence, option b. is incorrect.

Option c. is given as, “Cellulose cell walls.”

The characteristic feature of plants is the presence of a cell wall which is also shared by green algae. These cell walls help to maintain rigidity in the cell. Hence, option c. is incorrect.

Hence, the options a., b., and c. are correct.

Conclusion

The structures like cuticle and stomata are absent in green algae as their structures are not well adapted to the terrestrial habitat and are therefore primitive than land plants. Thus, the correct answer is option d.

Discussion entries must be at least 250 words to fulfill the assignment requirements. You must complete your entry before you will be able to see the responses of other students. Responses to other students are encouraged but not required. Grading for discussion entries will be based on application of course concepts, proper grammar, and correct punctuation. Read one the attached article and explore the Human Development Index (https://hdr.undp.org/data-center/human-development-index#/indicies/HDI). In your opinion, is the Human Development Index a good measure of the well- being of the people of a nation? Are the items measured in the HDI valid and relevant in the modern global economy? How are they related to the political economy of a nation? The attached articles propose some alternative measures of well-being. In your opinion, are there other measures of well-being that might be better alternatives to the items in the current HDI?
