Across
- 2. Leaflike structure of a moss which is one layer thick and has a costa. Essentially, a non-vascular leaf.
- 4. Thread-like structures that attach gametophore to the ground.
- 9. In leafy liverworts, a tubular sheath surrounding an archegonium, and later, the developing sporophyte.
- 10. Part of the sporophyte that acts as a stalk to hold other parts of the sporophyte above the boundary layer.
- 11. A thread-like chain of cells that forms the earliest stage (the haploid phase) of the life cycle of mosses and liverworts.
- 13. Enlarged archegonial venter that protects the capsule that contains the embryonic sporophyte.
- 14. Leaves that form in a row on the undersurface of the stem of a leafy liverwort. They are smaller than the leaves on the upper surface.
Down
- 1. Lack of an ability to regulate and maintain water content.
- 3. Basal portion of an embryo, sporophyte, or spore-producing body, which is embedded in the parental tissue. It serves as an anchor and to absorb nutrients.
- 5. Adjective used to describe clear cells, found in hinge tissue.
- 6. Tough substance that covers the outer wall of spores and pollen grains.
- 7. The swollen lower portion of an archegonium containing the egg.
- 8. Small mass of vegetative tissue that can develop into an entire new plant. Part of non vascular plant asexual reproduction.
- 12. Type of plant body that is not differentiated into root, stem, or leaves.
