2
ALGAE Similarities and difference to higher plants
3
Similarities Presence of cell wall—mostly cellulosic. Autotrophs/Primary producers— carry out photosynthesis Presence of chlorophyll a
4
Differences Algae lack the roots, stems, leaves, and other structures typical of true plants. Algae do not have vascular tissues—non vascular plants Algae do not form embryos within protective coverings—all cells are fertile. Variations in pigments. Variations in cell structure—unicellular, colonial and multicellular forms.
