Bryophytes & Ferns
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Earliest adaptations for Bryophytes and Ferns | cuticle, pores then stomata, sporopollenin, alternation of generations, multicellular gametangia, spores produced in sporangia, apical meristems |
| Nonvascular Plants | do not have conducting tissue |
| Vascular Plants | have xylem and phloem |
| Xylem cells are? | lignified |
| What are xylem and phloem? | conducting vascular tissues that move water, nutrients, and sugars |
| Nonvascular plants are divided into 3 phyla | liverworts, hornworts, mosses |
| Liverworts phylum | Hepatophyta |
| Hornworts phylum | Anthocerophyta |
| Mosses phylum | bryophyta |
| Bryophytes include | liverworts, hornworts, mosses |
| What generation in nonvascular plants is dominant? | gametophyte |
| What do nonvascular plants require for fertilization? | water |
| What do nonvascular plants NOT have? | no true roots, stems, or leaves |
| What were some remaining challenges for nonvascular plant adaptation? | lack of structural support, reproduction without water |
| Seedless Vascular Plants adaptations to land | vascular tissue, true roots, stems, and leaves |
| Remaining challenges for seedless vascular plants to adapt to land | avoiding dehydration, lack of structural support, reproduction without water |
| Xylem | conducts most of the water and minerals includes dead cells called tracheids |
| Phloem | consists of living cells and distributes sugars, amino acids, and other organic products |
| water-conducting cell | provide structural support |
| Evolutionary advantage of vascular seedless plants? | increased height |
| What does vascular tissue provide? | support and transport |
