alternation of generations

Two-phrased reproductive process in all plants, where the plant alternates between a spore producing plant (the saprophyte) and a gamete-producing (the gametophyte)

A vascular plant that produces seeds in the ovaries of flowers

a male (sperm) or female (egg) reproductive cell

The form of plant that develops from a spore in the second part of the two-part reproduction cycle and that produces gametes (sperm and egg)

A vascular plant produces seeds that are not enclosed in fleshy fruits

A plant that lacks vascular tissue and absorbs water and nutrients directly into its cells, transporting these materials throughout the plant through diffusion and osmosis

Cells or tissues in the vascular system that transport the food the plant makes to all cells in the plant

The reproductive structures of the sporophyte often found on the underside of the fond

Structures on each sorus that produces spores

a reproductive cell that can develop into a new individual without being fertilized in ideal conditions

The form of a plant that produces spores during one part of the two-part reproduction cycle

A structure inside vascular plants that moves water and nutrients from one part of the plant to another by the processes of diffusion and osmosis

Cells or tissues in the vascular system that transport water and inorganic nutrients from the roots to the rest of the plant

A cell that forms when two gametes (sperm and egg ) unite
