| What type of cell division produces microspores? | meiosis |
| What is the function of xylem tissue? | water conduction, mechanical support, storage |
| What is the function of the cuticle? | It reduces water lost by evaporation |
| What is the common name for members of Phylum Anthophyta? | flowering plants |

| What is the common name for members of Phylum Cycadophyta? | cycads |
| How is the xylem tissue similar to, and distinct from, hydroids? | They both conduct water, but xylem is more advanced and has lignen. |
| Approximately how long have ferns been present on Planet Earth? | 360 million years |
| What does the archegonium produce? | eggs, and eggs are sometimes fertilized there to make female gametophytes |

| What type of cell devision produces the gametes in the archegonium? | mitosis |
| What do hydroids do? | conduct water and minerals |
| What does the sporophyte produce by meiosis? | haploid spores |
| What is the relatinoship between the antheridium and the antheridiophore? | antheridiophore produces antheridium |
| What is the relationship between an archegonium and an archegoniophore? | archegoniophores produce archegonia on liverworts |
| What do pores do? | allow gas to pass in and out of Hepaticophytes (lead into air pockets) |
