D)

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

D) green algae don't have vascular tissue and must absorb nutrients directly from the environment.

This statement highlights a significant difference between green algae and land-based plants, as most land plants possess vascular tissue that allows them to transport water, nutrients, and sugars throughout the plant. Green algae, being primarily aquatic, absorb nutrients directly from their environment.
