LAND PLANTS AND THEIR EVOLUTION Chapter 19 Characteristics of Plants Multicellular autotrophs Cell wall of cellulose Food stored as starch Evolved from green algae Primarily terrestrial

PROBLEMS OF LIFE ON LAND PROBLEMSOLUTION Obtain water Roots and root hairs Transport water, food Xylemphloem Prevent dessication Cutin, drop leaves, stomates Gravity Cell walls, lignin, xylem Obtain CO2 Stomates ReproducePollen—sperm Protect Embryo Seeds, Fruit

BRYOPHYTES Mosses and Liverworts Mosses and Liverworts 1.No vascular tissue (xylem and phloem) 2.No true roots, stems, flowers or leaves 3.Tiny! 4.Water is required for fertilization 5.Gametophyte generation is dominant.

MOSS ANATOMY Antheridium: Reproductive structure that makes sperm Archegonium: Reproductive structure that makes eggs Protonema: A filament that grows into a new plant

ALTERNATION OF GENERATIONS GAMETOPHYTE: plant generation that produces gametes SPOROPHYTE: Plant generation that produces spores
