Why is water needed for bryophyte reproduction? 1.Both the sperm and the egg develop in spores, which must swim through water to undergo fertilization. 2.The sperm must swim to the egg. 3.Without water, the sperm will fertilize the egg, but the embryo will not develop. 4.Without water, the embryo will remain haploid instead of diploid.

What is one of the main differences between club moss and moss? 1.Club moss has vascular tissue. 2.Moss has leaves; club moss does not. 3.To conduct water and nutrients, club moss has rhizoids rather than vessels. 4.Moss has sperm and egg within the same spore; club moss has them in different spores.

Which of the following is not an adaptation that enables evergreen trees to live in a cold, dry ecosystem? 1.To protect the embryos from the cold, they develop in the roots. 2.The trees grow continuously and undergo photosynthesis year-round. 3.The trees have a waxy waterproof coating that minimizes water loss. 4.The sap contains antifreeze that helps transport fluids even in freezing temperatures.

In angiosperms, how does the sperm reach the egg? 1.The sperm uses flagella to swim to the egg. 2.The sperm and egg are produced inside the seed and grow into an adult form. 3.The pollen forms a tube in the stigma, through which the sperm travels to meet the egg. 4.The sperm fertilizes the egg outside the plant body.

Have you eaten an ovary today? 1.Yes. 2.No.

Elephants contribute to their ecosystems by helping plants grow in new areas. Why is it important that the plant seeds elephants eat be enclosed in hard coverings? 1.So that the seeds will not break when the elephants step on them. 2.To deter the elephants from eating all of them. 3.To allow the seeds to begin to propagate in any environment. 4.To allow the seeds to survive while passing though the elephant’s digestive system.
