Land plants are evolved from green algae.

Green algae called charophytes are coolest relatives of land plants.

It is believed that land plants are the most closely related to green algae, more specifically, a group of green algae referred to as charophyceans. Not only do both land plants and green algae produce chlorophyll a and b, but other evidence suggests that there is a relationship as well.

4 key traits that appear in nearly all land plants but are absent in the charophytes.

-Diploid embryos

- The ability to photosynthesize

-Apical meristem

-Walled spores produced in sporangia.

- Multicellular haploid and diploid generations

-Multicellular gametangia

Corals form symbiotic relationships with microscopic photosynthetic algae that live in their cells and give the corals their dis
12345 [234]

Answer and Explanation:

Corals are translucid or white, but they look brightly colored because they host symbionts with colorful photosynthetic pigments . They can host different organisms that live on and among them, giving place to an amazing ecosystem.    

One of these organisms is the photosynthetic unicellular microalgae, called zooxanteles, that are colorful and provide nutrients to the coral.  

Corals provide shelter and protection to the algae, while algae provide nitrogenated nutrients, sugars, and color to the corals. Algae can store nitrogen in their tissues as nitrogen-rich crystals, which are constantly provided to corals.

This symbiotic relation allows corals to grow in different environments that are poor in nitrogen or other nutrients, such as the tropical clear waters.

When changes in radiation, temperature, or salinity in water occur, corals react to these changes losing these algae and becoming translucid again.
