Bryophytes Modern Land Plants

1 answer

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.
