Q

We know that green algae have similarities to land plants because of their chloroplasts. Explain the three ways why they are similar due to the chloroplasts.

A

1.) contain both chlorophyll a and b
2.) similar arrangements of thylakoids - internal =, membrane-bound sacs in chloroplasts
3.) Synthesize starch as a storage
