Morphology


Life cycle


Vascular tissue

___ include liverworts, mosses, and hornworts and are the most primitive group of terrestrial plants.

Bryophytes

Bryophytes are green, have rootlike structures called ___, and may have stem and leaflike parts

Rhizoids

In what order did plants develop?

Chlorophyte green algae


Simple streptophyte algae


Complex streptophye algae


Liverworts


Mosses


Hornworts


Lycophytes


Pteridophytes


Cycads


Ginkgo


Conifers and gnetales


Angiosperms

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.

Foot


Spores


Capsule


Seta

___ 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

___ gametophytes have specialized cells that aid in the absorption and retention of water

Miss

Unlike liverworts, ___ lack structures such as gemmae for asexual reproduction. They reproduce asexually by fragmentation

Mosses

Moss sporophytes consist of ___ located atop stalks, called ___, that extend upward from the moss gametophyte. A sporophyte is attached to the gametophyte by a structured called a ___

Capsules


Setae


Foot

Moss: The capsule atop the seta is covered by the hoodlike ___, which is the upper portion of archegonium that covers the apex of the capsule. The ___ falls off when the capsule matures. Inside the capsule are numerous haploid spores formed by meiosis

Calyptra

Moss: On the top of the capsule is a lidlike structure called the ___

Operculum

Moss spores germinate and form a photosynthetic ___, which resembles a branching, filamentous algae. Leafy moss plants arise from “buds” located along the ___

Protonema

In __, the sporophyte is shaped like a long, tapered horn that protrudes from a flattened thallus

Hornworts

The most familiar hornwort is ___, a temperate genus

Anthoceros
