How do large kelps transport sugars from the terminal ends of the thallus to the bottom? Is this characteristic of other algae?
What will be an ideal response?
Large kelps need some way of transporting materials from the upper reaches of the thallus to the lower parts that do not receive enough sunlight. In order to facilitate this transport, kelps have tube-like trumpet cells that can carry nutrients down from above. Other algae lack this conductive tissue.
