Chegg's guidance allow us to answer first 4 question.Kindly re post other question
Answer 1 – [True] The ancestors of plants were probably algae.
Explanation – It is probably true because land plants originate from ocean plant.
Answer 2 - Plants and green algae both are capable of processing photosynthesis. They both are consider to be photosynthetic Eukaryotes and consist of complex Multicellular bodies.
Answer 3- The most important advantage of life in land is the presence of sunlight which is absolutely absent in the aquatic plants. It is also be beneficial for the animals who are herbivorous.
Answer 4- Disadvantage include the reproduction without water , they have to obtain resources from the ground and air.

Bryophytes & Seedless vascular plants: Be able to define a true “plant” Know how plants differ from other photosynthetic organisms (green algae, cyanobacteria) Understand that land plants share a common ancestor with green algae Be familiar with the four stages in land plant evolution, and know that both bryophytes and seedless vascular plants arose in the first stage seedless vascular plants diversified and dominated the Earth in the second stage, during the Carboniferous Period (~350-300 MYA), when coal deposits were...
Draw a phylogeny of the plants that includes the following taxa: Green algae Liverworts Mosses Hornworts Lycophytes Ferns & horsetails Gymnosperm Angiosperm And the following adaptations: Sporophyte Cuticle Stem cells Xylem & phloem Lignin Seeds Flowers Lastly, indicate which of the taxa are classified as, non-vascular, vascular, bryophytes, seed, and flowering plants.
Question 32 2 pts Which of the following is true of seedless vascular plants? They produce many spores, which are really the same as seeds. Sphagnum is an economically and ecologically important example, The gametophyte is the dominant generation Whole forests were dominated by large, seedless vascular plants during the Carboniferous period. O Extant seedless vascular plants are larger than the extinct varieties. If humans had been present to build log structures during the Carboniferous period (they weren't), which plant...
What feature of club mosses prevents them from being classified as a true moss? A. Club mosses look nothing like true mosses. B. Club mosses reproduce using seeds, while true mosses reproduce using spores. C. Club mosses are the haploid generation, whereas true mosses are the diploid generation. D. Club moss sporophytes contain true vascular tissue; true mosses are nonvascular plants that do not contain vascular tissue.

The evolution of plants onto land required them to solve several problems. The first groups of plants to come up with an effective means of support on land was the Mosses Flowering plants Angiosperms Gymnosperms Ferns A unique characteristic of monocots is They have secondary growth They have no vascular tissue They have no netted leaf veins They have scattered vascular bundles They are flowering plants Osmosis is most important in the transport of Sugars in the phloem Sugars in...
