Chapter 21 Outline Introduction Phylum Psilotophyta The Whisk Ferns Phylum Lycophyta The Ground Pines Spike Mosses and Quillworts Phylum Equisetophyta The Horsetails and Scouring Rushes. 1 | Page CRYPTOGAMS - Flowerless or seedless plants - Lower and more primitive plants - 3 main groups i.e. Thallop hyte, Bryophyte and Pteridophyte - Thallophytes include: Algae, fungi, Bacteria and Year . 7. 2015. Plants. Fungi. Monera. Protists. Plants. Plants are classified into two different phyla. The following characteristics determine where the plants fit. How they feed. Reproduction. Their physical features. Mosses and Liverworts. Ferns and Horsetails. Mosses and Liverworts. Small. Live on bark, rocks, and soil. No vascular system. Must live in places that are wet. No true roots, stems, or leaves. Mosses. Biology 11. KINGDOM PLANTAE. Vascular Plants. Phylum Tracheophyta. Non-Vascular Plants. Terrestrial:. Bryophytes. Aquatic: . Algae. Phyla. :. Bryophyta. Hepatophyta. Antherocerophyta. Phyla. :. Chlorophyta. Evolution of Land Plants. Land plants evolved from green algae. The green algae called charophyceans are the closest relatives of land plants. Comparisons of both nuclear and chloroplast genes. Point to charophyceans as the closest living relatives of land plants. Plantae. Phylum: . Pteropsida. Class:. Filicinae. , . Gymnospermae. , . Angiospermae. Pteropsida. . A large group of vascular plants characterized by having . parenchymatous. leaf gaps in the stele and by having leaves which are thought to have originated in the distant past as branched stem systems. . Seedless Plants. Chapter 3 Page 79. Question 1 Answer:. Compare and contrast the characteristics of mosses and ferns.. Alike: Reproduce by spores. Different: Unlike mosses, ferns have vascular tissue. Grow on fruits and breads. Saprobes and parasites. Rhizopus. : bread mould. Hyphae. Threadlike hyphae secrete enzymes which break down food. The hyphae then reabsorb the nutrients and transport them throughout the fungus by means of diffusion.. From Last Day:. Closest Living Relatives of Land Plants - . Charophytes. Chara. . Coelochaete.
