Bryophytes
This generation is predominant in bryophytes.
What is the gametophyte?
This is one of the main kinds of pteridophytes.
What are ferns, club mosses, and horsetails?
These structures that bear seeds are unique to gymnosperms.
What are cones?
Angiosperms evolved to only follow the course of this generation of plants.
What are sporophytes?
This is the energy source for photosynthesis.
What is sunlight?
These are two of the main types of bryophytes.
What are mosses, hornworts, and liverworts?
Pteridophytes are the first plants to evolve this system.
What is a vascular system?
What are seeds?
Angiosperms use this structure to attract pollinators.
What is a flower?
Chlorophyll a (the most common type of chlorophyll) uses this color light to power photosynthesis.
What is red light?
Bryophytes can't grow upwards, because they are the only type of this category of plant.
What is a nonvascular plant?
This process combines the male and female gametes in pteridophytes to create a zygote.
What is fertilization?
The most common type of pinecone (the ones you see lying on the forest floor) is this gender.
What is the female cone?
If pollen never reaches the stigma to fertilize the ovary, then the flower of an angiosperm will never develop into this.
What is a fruit?
This molecule enters the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis, ultimately being joined together to form glucose molecules.
What is carbon dioxide (CO2)?
Bryophytes have two separate plant structures for the male and female versions of this generation.
What are gametophytes?
This structure on the underside of leaves in pteridophytes contain many sporangia.
What is a sorus?
When the female seed in a gymnosperm contains the "megaspore" it has entered the very brief version of this generation.
What is a gametophyte?
The zygote that forms inside the ovary after fertilization in angiosperms is the only one to contain this ploidy level.
What is triploid?
Grana are stacks of this structure in chloroplasts, which take energy from the sunlight to break water molecules apart.
What are thylakoids?
Bryophytes use these mediums to spread their spores.
What are wind and water?
You would most likely recognize a fern (a type of pteridophyte) by this generation.
What is the sporophyte?
The female cones contain this structure, unique to all other types of plants.
What is the ovule?
This structure on long stalks on the flower are responsible for producing pollen, the male gamete of angiosperms.
What are anthers?
This molecule transports hydrogen atoms from the light-dependent reactions over to the Calvin cycle.
What is NADPH?
