• monilophyta - ferns, horsetails, whisk ferns

Question 38

seed vascular phylum

Answer 38

• coniferophyta - gymnosperms
• magnioliophyta - angiosperms

Question 39

dominant generation in nonvascular plants

Answer 39

gametophyte

Question 40

vascular tissue

Answer 40

cells joined into tubes for transport of water and nutrients

clades

Answer 41

groupings of common structure from common ancestor
- from vascular plants

Question 42

grade

Answer 42

grouped together by key features, no common ancestry

Question 43

seed

Answer 43

embryo and nutrients surrounded by protective coat
- seed plants form clade that can be further divided into more clades

Question 44

gymnosperms

Answer 44

seeds no enclosed in chambers

Question 45

angiosperms

Answer 45

seeds develop inside chambers that originate within flowers

Question 46

• sporophyte dom gen
• well-developed roots/leaves
• xylem and phloem
• sporangium

Question 51

sporangium

Answer 51

vessel-containing spores
- produces spores

Question 52

xylem

Answer 52

• conducts most of water and minerals
• includes tube-shaped cells called tracheids
• water-conducting cells strengthened by lignin and provide

Question 53

phloem

Answer 53

• cells arranged in tubes that distribute sugars, amino acids, and organic products

Question 54

what allows for increased height

Answer 54

vascular tissues

Question 55

roots
