Document Summary

Bryphophytes: non vascular seed plants, liverworts, hornworts, mosses. Sporopollenin: in spore walls, decay resistant, protection, good for fossils. Plant cuticle: waxy layer, aerial parts (above ground, reduces water loss. Stomata: gas exchange, pores open and close. Life cycle of extant plants: alternation of heteromorphic (different) generations. Alternation of generations: sporophyte (diploid generation) and gametophyte (haploid generation) present in life cycle. Alternation of sporophyte (2n) generation and gametophyte (1n) generation. Sporophyte produces haploid (1n) spores by meiosis. Phylums: all bryophytes (non-vascular land plants) Gametophytes: thalloid (flat) or leafy, typically, with unicellular or multicellular rhizoids (anchors) Flagellated sperm: produce in male gametangia. Antheridia + archegonia: layer of sterile jacket cells. Antheridia release sperm (cid:0) swim to egg in archegonium. Water needed for fertilization (cid:0) egg fertilized in the archegonium. Sporophyte produces haploid spores in sporangium (spore producing structure) (cid:0) spores give rise to new gametophytes. Sporophyte: foot, seta (stalk supporting capsule, capsule (sporangium)
