The plant body of bryophytes is called a ___ |
Thallus |
|
___ are male sex organs that produce swimming, biflagellate sperm |
Antheridia |
|
Sperm fertilize eggs produced in ____, the female sex organs |
Archegonia |
|
The fertilized egg is called a ___ |
Zygote |
|
The zygote divides and matures in the archegonium to produce the ___, which remains attached to and nutritionally dependent on the ___ |
Sporophyte Gametophyte |
|
The mature sporophyte produces ___ spores, each of which can develop into a gametophyte |
Haploid |
|
___ are the earliest land plants |
Liverworts |
|
The gametophyte thallus of this liverwort, ____, grows as a large flat photosynthetic structure on the surface of the ground |
Marchantia |
|
Pores in the dorsal surface of the thallus overlie air chambers containing ___ (chloroplast-containing) cell’s |
Chlorenchyma |
|
Liverworts can reproduce asexually via ___. In this process, the older, central portions of the thallus die, leaving the growing tips isolated to form individual plants |
Fragmentation |
|
Structures called ___ ___ occurs on the dorsal (upper) surface of some thalli near the midrib. They are another means of asexual reproduction by liverworts. |
Gemmae cups |
|
Inside the gemmae cups are lens-shaped outgrowths called ___, which are splashed out of the cup by falling crops of rain. If a gemma lands in an adequate environment, it can produce a new gametophyte plant |
Gemmae |
|
Many species of Marchantia are ___, meaning that they have separate male and female plants. Gametes from each plant are produced in specialized sex organs borne on upright stalks |
Dioecious |
|
___ are specialized stalks on female plants that bear archegonia |
Archegoniophores |
|
Each flask-shaped archegonium consists of a ___ and a ___, which contains the ___ |
Neck Venter Egg |
|
___ are specialized stalks on male plants that bear antheridia |
Antheridiophores |
|
___ ___ are released and washed from the antheridia during wet conditions and eventually fertilize the egg located in the ____. The zygote remains in the ___ and grows into a ___ plant |
Flagellated sperm Venter Venter Sporophyte |
|
The nonphotosynthetic sporophyte of a liverwort is connected to the gametophyte by a structure called the ___. ___ are produced by meiosis in a ___ located on a ___ (stalk) that extends downward from the foot. |

|
___ help disperse spores by twisting. In humid conditions the ___ coil, but when it is dry the ___ expand, pushing the spores apart and rupturing the spore case to release the spores |
Elaters |
