Nonvascular Plants have _____ for nutrient transport, ______ sperm, and dominant _______phase
Nonvascular Plants have NO VASCULAR TISSUE for nutrient transport, FLAGELLATED SPERM THAT SWIM TO EGG, and a dominant GAMETOPHYTE phase
Seedless Vascular plants have _______for nutrient transport, sperm ________, and a dominant _______ phase
Seedless Vascular plants have VASCULAR TISSUE for nutrient transport, sperm PROTECTED FROM DRYING OUT, and a dominant SPOROPHYTE phase
What is produced inside the antheridia?
Sperm
What is produced inside the archegonia
Eggs
Why do some biologists call the nonvascular plants the amphibians of the plant kingdom?
Nonvascular plants require a wet habitat for survival and water for reproduction
Are ferns better adapted to a land environment than mosses?
Yes. They contain vascular tissue (xylem and phloem)
How is the gametophyte of mosses similar to that of ferns?
Both are photosynthetic, use rhizoids, and produce gametangia
How is the gametophyte in mosses different to that of ferns?
Mosses have a dominant gametophyte generation and ferns have a small independent gametophyte generation.
