B
Algae and land plants both perform photosynthesis using chlorophyll.
C
Algae have roots, stems, and leaves similar to land plants.

Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the key characteristics of algae and land plants. Algae are primarily aquatic organisms, while land plants are primarily terrestrial.
Understand that both algae and land plants perform photosynthesis. They use chlorophyll to capture light energy and convert it into chemical energy.
Recognize that algae do not have true roots, stems, or leaves like land plants. Instead, they have structures like holdfasts, stipes, and blades.
Note that land plants have a vascular system consisting of xylem and phloem for transporting water and nutrients, whereas most algae lack such a system.
Conclude that the statement 'Algae and land plants both perform photosynthesis using chlorophyll' is true, as it accurately describes a shared characteristic of both groups.
