Nonvascular Plants and Seedless Vascular Plants

Question 1

Anatomical Adaptations for Living on Land

Answer 1

Vascular Tissue, Root system, Cuticle/cork, and Gas exchange

Question 2

Vascular Tissue

Answer 2

Used to transport nutrients and water throughout a plant;
Xylem: water
Phloem: nutrients

Question 3

Root System

Answer 3

Anchoring system, ability to absorb underground water and nutrients

Question 4

Cuticle/cork

Answer 4

Protection; decrease water loss

Question 5

Gas Exchange

Answer 5

pores that allow for gas exchange

Question 6

Alternation of Generations

Answer 6

Diploid plant produces spores (Sporophyte) Haploid plant produces gametes (gametophyte)

Question 7

Diploid

Answer 7

Sporophyte and Zygote

Question 8

Haploid

Answer 8

Spores, Gametophyte, and Gametes

Question 9

Generation or Phase

Answer 9

Sporophyte or Gametophyte

Question 10

Bryophytes: Seedless Nonvascular Plants

Answer 10

Mosses, Liverworts, and Hornworts;
Water necessary for reproduction; Lack vascular tissue; No true roots, stems, or leaves; Can’t absorb water from the soil; Gametophyte Dominant

Question 11

Seedless Vascular Plants

Answer 11

Ferns, Horsetails, and Lycophytes (club mosses); Have true stems, roots, and leaves; Sporophyte Dominant; Has Vascular Tissue
