Relate the structure of an angiosperm leaf to each of the following:- Adaptations for photosynthesis and food storage.- Adaptations for food translocation and water transport.- Specialized adaptations to a desert environment.
The picture below is of a moss growing on my roof. It shows both the gametophyte and the
sporophyte phases of the life cycle.
Make a sketch and label which part of the moss is the gametophyte and which is the sporophyte.
(Alternatively, you can find a live moss with both phases and take a picture, label it and upload here.)
Label the seta, capsule and calyptra of the sporophyte.
Use examples from Figure 30.7 to describe how variousgymnosperms are similar yet distinctive.

- You have discovered a new plant species that you think may be a gymnosperm. Which of the following features would you NOT expect it to have? Cones Fruits Vascular tissue like xylem and phloem Seedsarrow_forwardDraw the life cycle of a typica bryophyte such as moss. Your drawing should contain the following terms: 2N and N, Sporophyte and Gametophyte, Sporangium, Meiosis, Spores, Protonema, Antheridium, Sperm, Archegonium, Egg and Fertilizationarrow_forwardThe main difference between the life cycle of mosses versus the gymnosperms is: -in moss the dominant life cycle stage is the gametophyte, whereas in gymnosperms the dominant life cycle stage is the sporophyte. -moss sporophytes are photosynthetic and gymnosperm sporophytes are not. -gymnosperms undergo the alternation of generations and mosses do not. -mosses only have one multicellular life cycle stage, whereas gymnosperms have two.arrow_forward

- Explain the life cycle of a fern. Begin with the dominant portion of their life cycle and work your way through the rest including specific names of structures, types of cell division used, and nuclear conditions. Along with your explanation (paragraphs, bulleted points, etc.), I would like for you to discuss in a few sentences how this life cycle is more advanced than a typical moss’s life cycle and, in a few sentences, how it is not quite as advanced as a typical pine’s life cycle.arrow_forwardWhat letter in the diagram identifies the sporophyte?

- READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS: Bryophytes in which the gametophytes are "leafy" in appearance and the sporophytes grow conspicuously from the tips of the gametophyte plants. STEP 1: Examine the mass of moss plants and then select one or two individual gametophyte plants and note the leaf-like (not true leaves because they lack conducting tissue) structures which are arranged around a central, vertical "stem-like" stalk and root-like rhizoids which anchor the plant and absorb water and nutrients. STEP: The sex organs are in the tips of the plants and must be seen with the microscope. Study a slide of a vertical section through head of a mate plant and note the many antheridia. STEP 3: Examine a slide through a vertical section of a female plant. Note the many upright archegonia each on a tall stalk and each with a swollen base or venter containing an egg and an elongate neck. Note the filamentous paraphyses between the archegonia. STEP 4: Examine a living or preserved…arrow_forwardEarly botanists admired ferns but found their life cycle perplexing. In the 1700s, they learned to propagate ferns by sowing what appeared to be tiny dust like “seeds” that they collected from the undersides of fronds. Despite many attempts, the botanists could not locate the pollen source, which they assumed must stimulate these “seeds” to develop. Imagine you could write to these botanists. Compose a note that explains the fern life cycle and clears up their confusion.arrow_forwardThe rhizome of ferns like the one shown in the previous question, have a dictyostele vascular cylinder.
