Document Summary

Gametophyte (haploid) is the dominant life form. Sporophyte is dependent on the gametophyte for nutrition at some or all stages of development and usually remains attached. Gametes are produced in the antheridium and archegonium. The sperm must swim or be splashed by water to reach the egg. Have no true roots, stems, or leaves. They obtain and move water around in a relatively undirected fashion via osmosis. Have no strong support tissue plant body. Have signaling proteins that are involved in desiccation tolerance. Because of the lack of vascular tissue they"re almost microscopic - they need to stay in moist environments. Minerals can be distributed throughout their bodies by diffusion. Gametangia: organs that enclose gametes and prevent them from drying out: Embryos young plants contain within a protective structure. Growth occurs at growing points at the apex of plant. Sporophyte remains attached to the larger gametophyte.
