Answer:
i think true water-conducting tissue is a derived character of green algae?
Explanation:
WHY?
Many characteristics of land plants also appear in algae like both are multi cellular, euks, photosynthetic autotrophs so are brown, red, and certain green algae, plants have cell walls made of cellulose and so do green algae
However, charophytes are the only present day algae that share these traits with land plants
1.Rings of cellulose-synthesizing proteins (circular rings of proteins in plasma membrane that make cellulose of cell wall)
2.Structure of flagellated sperm
3.Formation of a phragmoplast ( group of microtubules known as phragmoplast formes b/t daughter nuclei of a dividing cell, giving rise to a cell plate making cross wall that separates the daughter cells)
Comparisons of both nuclear and chloroplast genes point to charophytes as the closest living relatives of land plants
Land plants are not descended from modern charophytes, but share a common ancestor with modern charophytes
WHY NOT?
The origin of embryophytes, as these multicellular plants arose and conquered the land, was a pivotal event in the history of life on earth. Without embryophytes, there would be no animals or humans surviving on the land portion of our planet. The provide food, habitat, energy, oxygen, protection, and numerous vital other functions for the world's creatures. Human beings also benefit from the aesthetic beauty, medicines, and innumerable products derived from these diverse plants.
