BIO 1500: chapter 19
1. A is a multicellular eukaryote that carries out photosynthesis: plant
2. Large algae, including seaweeds, are photosynthetic as well as being eukary-
otic and multicellular.
- terrestrial adaptations.
- Classified as rather than plants: Lack, protists
3. All three of these, the green algae, the fungi, and the plant, are
and have cells walls surrounding the plasma membrane of
each cell.: eukaryotic
4. Green algae (type of protist) and plants have chlorophyll (in the
chloroplasts) and so they photosynthesize ->

,Fungi are , they cannot manufacture their own food by carbon
fixation and therefore derive their intake of nutrition from other sources of
organic carbon: photosynthetic autotrophs, heterotrophs
5. is the process of combining water and carbon
dioxide using light energy and producing sugar and releasing oxygen: Photosyn-
thesis
6. All plants—some green algae as well as land plants—are ;
which means they are descendants of a single common ancestor: monophyletic
7. Adaptation on land: strategies to combat dryness
: mosses, for example, can dry out to a brown and brittle

, mat, but as soon as water available (rain), mosses will absorb it and are restored
to their green appearance
Another strategy is to humid environments. Ferns, an early lineage
of plants, thrive in damp and cool places (understory of temperate forests)
Later, plants moved away from moist or aquatic environments using
to desiccation, rather than , by minimizing water
loss: Tolerance, colonize, resistance, tolerance
