As shown many plants of the desert plant Lithops. How many leaves does each plant have? (By the way, even if you grow these in ideal conditions, they never have more than this number.)
Green algae and plants differ in which of the following? Algae have alternation of generations but land plants do not. Green algae are often unicellular, while land plants are not. Land plants have plastids and green algae do not. Land plants have cell walls containing cellulose but green algae do not.
The chlorophyte (green algae) genera Ulva and Caulerpa both have macroscopic leaf-like and stem-like structures, but only Ulva species are considered truly multicellular. Explain why.
