Question
Chapter 29, Problem 11TYU
Summary Introduction
To explain:
The reason that why the structure of kelps that transport sugar analogous to sieve tube elements has helped in their evolution.
Introduction:
Phloem tissue which is made up of sieve tubes and companion cells, is responsible for the transports of sugars to the whole plant parts. In brown algae, the blades are present which helps in synthesizing sugars in the presence of sunlight by the process of photosynthesis.

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.
If you were to open the container at the end of the stalk shown in the image below, the cells you would find within
would eventually grow into:

1.Explain how vascular tissue allows vascular plants to be larger than nonvascular plants? Make reference to function of vascular tissue and how nonvascular plants obtain water and nutrients.
2.Describe why diffusion alone is an ineffective strategy to move nutrients/exchange gases in larger multicellular organisms.
3.Using your Life Concept Map as a reference, compare and contrast (give an account of similarities and differences between two items, referring to both items throughout the answer) a representative species from two similar kingdoms. A T chart or table might be a good way to organize your answers.

- EVOLUTION LINK The number of protonephridia in a planarian is related to the salinity of its environment. Planaria inhabiting slightly salty water develop fewer protonephridia than those inhabiting less salty water, but the number of protonephridia quickly increases when the concentration of salt in the environment is lower. How is this increase adaptive?
