To sort the characteristics of bryophytes and modern land plants, here are the responses for each category:
Bryophytes:
- Non-vascular
- Require water for reproduction (sperm must swim to egg)
- Lack true roots, stems, and leaves
- Usually found in moist environments
- Have a dominant gametophyte generation
- Examples include mosses, liverworts, and hornworts
Modern Land Plants:
- Vascular tissue present (xylem and phloem)
- Can reproduce without the need for water (pollen allows for fertilization)
- Have true roots, stems, and leaves
- Can thrive in a variety of environments
- Have a dominant sporophyte generation
- Examples include ferns, conifers, and flowering plants
You can drag these characteristics to their respective categories as needed.
