Daniel A Salomon March 9 2016 Moss Systematics and Temperate Rainforests Mosses are nonvascular Remain small and grow in wet places They give the temperate rainforest its lush rich verdant appearance. Carved Stones Adviser Project: Lichens, Algae and Mosses A lichen is a composite organism, partly made up a fungus and partly composed of algae. Lichens are cang a variety of materials, including tree Located on the western edge of North and South Located in a 3,000 mile wide belt near the equator Mostly conifer trees, some Huge amounts of plants Mostly broadleaf evergreens like palms, bamboo and Chapter 7: Section 2. Seedless Plants. How do seedless plants reproduce?. Include all nonvascular plants and some vascular plants. Vascular vs. nonvascular. Nonvascular plants do not have structures that transport substances through the plant. 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. 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. Definition. Lichens- combination of a green algae (or . cytobacterium. ) and a fungus. Exist in a mutualistic relationship- if separated, they cannot exist. Inhabit areas that neither fungi nor algae alone can exist, so they are first life forms to colonize newly exposed soil or rock.
