Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Do divergent growth strategies between red algae and kelps influence biomechanical properties?
Answer: We propose that divergent patterns in the distribution of material properties along blades may have different consequences for the performance of kelps and red algae. The positioning of younger tissues at the blade base for kelps may enable these species to attain larger body sizes in wave-swept habitats.
Output (English): yes
