Document Summary
There are more green algae that are closer related to advanced plants. Coleochaetophyceae (coleochaetes: most coleochaetes grow as flat sheets of cells (figure 30. 31), and the multicellular individuals are haploid, the coleochaetes are strictly freshwater algae that grow attached to aquatic plants or over submerged rocks. Share the same pigments of land plants, they are flat leaf like and simple only couple cells thick. Charaphyceae (stoneworts: stoneworts get their common name because they usually accumulate crusts of calcium carbonate over their surfaces. More advanced, they look like they have stems, very simple, fresh water: they are multicellular; some species can be a meter or more in length, these freshwater algae are a good indicator that water is not polluted. Leading towards terrestrial land plants, resemble them more (have stem). Three branches from a single node, (cid:449)e don"t kno(cid:449) if li(cid:448)er(cid:449)orts are closer to hornworts or mosses.
