Students have asked these similar questions
One reason that mosses are dependent on wet environments is;
They lack a cuticle
They do not have rhizoids
They need water for fertilization
They produce seeds
The picture below shows a living member of the Pteridophytes.
Make a sketch of the specimen and label the following structures: sporophyte, frond, pinna, rhizome,
root (Alternatively, you can find a live fern with all these structures and take a picture, label it and
upload here.)
Moss gametophyte and sporophyte
Describe the colors of the structure and their textures. Indicate which structures are haploid and diploid. Compare the morphology of the moss with the brown algae, polysiphonia, and spirogyra. What's the ecology of mosses and why are they sometimes called natures compass?
