Answer:
Presence of chlorophyll pigment in the leaves and cell walls were made of cellulose
Explanation:
The first plants that appeared on the land areas were comprised of the main component known as the cellulose that forms the cell wall of the plants and is responsible for making the various parts of plants such as branches, plant stems, and leaves, stronger and supportive.
In addition to this, the leaves of these primitive plants were comprised of green pigments known as chlorophyll that absorbs the sunlight and CO₂, and helps the plants in preparing the food for themselves as well as for the consumers, and also liberates oxygen (O₂) with it.
Thus, these are the two common characteristics that supported the idea that the primitive land plants had a relation with the green algae.
Answer:
A) photorespiration.
Explanation:
Photorespiration is the harmful metabolic process which takes place when the concentration of oxygen in the leaf increases compared to carbon dioxide.
The RUBISCO enzyme which usually binds the carbon dioxide now binds the oxygen and form the phosphoglycolate and 3 phosphoglycerate.
The phosphoglycolate is lost through the Calvin cycle as Carbon dioxide molecule. This loss proves harmful to the plants.
The photorespiration occurs when the plant faces high temperature therefore n order to prevent water loss the stomata gets closed. This result in the binding of the oxygen to the RUBISCO and thus photorespiration begins.
Thus, Option-A is correct.
