Across
- 1. A group of bryophytes with simple leaves and stems, and rhizoids for anchoring. Example: Funaria.
- 5. Mosses Pteridophytes resembling mosses but with vascular tissue. Example: Lycopodium.
- 8. Seed-producing plants that do not form flowers or fruits, with exposed seeds typically on cones.
- 9. Gymnosperms with needle-like leaves and cones. Example: Pinus (pine trees).
- 12. Vascular plants that reproduce via spores and have true roots, stems, and leaves.
- 14. A diverse group of gymnosperms that share some characteristics with angiosperms. Example: Ephedra.
- 16. Red algae; contains chlorophyll a and phycobiliproteins, mostly marine and used in food and industry. Example: Porphyra.
- 17. The dominant life stage in pteridophytes, producing spores via meiosis.
- 19. Bryophytes with flattened thallus bodies, found in damp, shady areas. Example: Marchantia.
Down
- 2. A filamentous green algae known for its spiral chloroplasts, found in freshwater habitats.
- 3. Pteridophytes with large, divided leaves called fronds, reproducing via spores on the underside. Example: Pteris.
- 4. Brown algae; contains chlorophyll c and fucoxanthin, typically found in marine environments. Example: Fucus.
- 5. Gymnosperms with large, compound leaves and stout trunks. Example: Cycas.
- 6. Non-vascular plants that reproduce via spores, typically found in moist environments.
- 7. The dominant, photosynthetic life stage in bryophytes, producing gametes.
- 10. Bryophytes with horn-like sporophytes that grow from a basal thallus. Example: Anthoceros.
- 11. Green algae; characterized by chlorophyll a and b, and cell walls made of cellulose. Example: Chlamydomonas.
- 13. Simple, photosynthetic organisms found in aquatic environments, lacking true roots, stems, and leaves.
- 15. Pteridophytes with jointed stems and silica deposits in their tissues. Example: Equisetum.
- 18. A single extant species (Ginkgo biloba) with fan-shaped leaves and unique reproductive structures.
