Use the table of pollination syndromes below to determine the likely pollinator for the flowers available in your lab. Observe the fruits available and use the table below to predict which characteristics are related to each of the following dispersal agents.

They do not have roots, but have long dead cells capable of water absorbency via apoplastic transport, these cells are called rhizoid cells. Their sporophyte is reduced to sporogon, which is simply a sporangium with setamosses: stalk of the sporogon (see) (stalk), and is usually parasitic. Gametophyte of bryophytes starts its development from a protonema, thread of cells.

Of these, more than 260,000 are seed plants. Mosses, ferns, conifers, and flowering plants are all members of the plant kingdom. Some biologists also consider green algae to be plants, although many others exclude all algae from the plant kingdom and place them in Protista.

In this latter type of reproduction, the gemmae—small, intact, complete pieces of plant that are produced in a cup on the surface of the thallus (shown in Figure 25.11 and Figure 25.12)—are splashed out of the cup by raindrops.

The first bryophytes (liverworts) most likely appeared in the Ordovician period, about 450 million years ago. Because of the lack of lignin and other resistant structures, the likelihood of bryophytes forming fossils is rather small. Some spores protected by sporopollenin have survived and are attributed to early bryophytes.

Lacking vascular tissue, these early plants generally have a prostrate form and grow closely appressed to the substrate. They lack true roots but have anchoring cells called rhizoids that extend from the gametophyte. Bryophytes have a gametophyte dominant life cycle and the sporophytes grow from the megagametophyte.

By going back to over 450 million years, bryophytes are considered the most ancient Plantae group with no true roots. Assessment 1: TRUE or FALSE: Bryophytes have alternation of generations. Assessment 2: TRUE or FALSE: Bryophytes are small plants with 1-2cm height.
