Introduction to Bryophytes
Across
- 1. Specialized leaf cells containing one large oil body and lacking chloroplasts
- 4. Unique organelle in liverwort leaf cells, absent in mosses and hornworts
- 6. Thread-like structure that grows when a spore germinates
- 7. Special basal-corner leaf cells that control leaf movement
- 8. Hood-like tissue covering the developing capsule
- 9. Cell wall thickenings found at the corners of leaf cells in some liverworts
- 12. Depend on moisture in the environment
- 13. Specialized conducting cells inside bryophytes
- 16. Anchoring to the substrate
- 17. Moss habit: sporophyte produced at laterally on stem
- 19. Dominant haploid stage in bryophytes
- 20. Thin tubular organ protects the developing capsule
Down
- 2. Central sterile tissue found inside the capsule
- 3. Symbiotic organisms found in hornwort cavities
- 5. Cells that aid spore dispersal through hygroscopic movement
- 10. Specialized organelle involved in the synthesis of starch
- 11. Flask-shaped reproductive organ
- 14. Small ventral leaves also known as amphigastria
- 15. What does Nostoc fix that is required by hornworts?
- 18. Reproductive units in non-flowering plants
