Plant Evolution Intro

4. spore-producing structures in ferns
11. division of non-vascular, spore-producing plants eg hornworts and mosses
13. the diploid phase that reproduces asexually to form spores
14. the male microgametophyte of seed plants that contains the sperm cells
15. land plant spores that develop into the female gametophyte
16. substance found in some cell walls to provide support eg in bark
17. land plants that develop from an embryo protected by maternal tissue
18. the part of the ovary that houses female germ cells and becomes the seed after fertilization
19. the haploid phase that produces the gametes that form zygotes

1. the spread of plant seeds away from the parent plant
2. hair-like filaments used by bryophytes to anchor themselves and to absorb water and minerals
3. system composed of conducting tissues (xylem and phloem)
5. hydrophobic protective layer on the leaf epidermis
6. non-flowering seed-producing plants eg gingkos and conifers
7. a haploid reproductive cell that gives rise to a gametophyte
8. species of archaeplastid that land plants evolved from
9. non-parasitic plants that grow on other plants and absorb nutrients from rain and air eg orchids
10. pores in the leaf epidermis that facilitate gaseous exchange
12. flowering seed-producing plants eg roses and lilies
