What is the primary difference between the seeds of conifers and anthophytes?
|
Anthophyte seeds are encased in fruits; conifer seeds are produced on cones.
|
|
Why are seeds an important structural adaptation? What plant divisions produce seeds? Which plant divisions do not produce seeds?
|
Seeds protect and supply food for the embryo and aid in dispersal. Seed: Cycadophyta, Gnetophyta, Ginkgophyta, Coniferophyta, and Anthophyta; non-seed: Anthocerophyta, Hepaticophyta, Bryophyta, Psilophyta, Lycophyta, Arthrophyta, and Pterophyta.
|
|
What structural adaptation allows pterophytes to grow larger than bryophytes?
|
Ferns have vascular tissues that transport water and provide support.
|
|
Compare and contrast anthophytes and anthocerophytes.
|
Both show alternation of generations and are land plants. Anthocerophytes are non-seed, nonvascular plants; anthophytes are vascular seed plants.
|
|
In which division would you expect to find apple trees? Why?
|
Anthophyta; They have flowers and fruit.
