Nonvascular Plants
Division Bryophyta: Moses
The gametophyte generation
Morphology
Gametophores
Leafy stems of mosses
Water Transport
Hydroids
Cells that conduct water and minerals
Leptoids
Cells that resemble sieve cells
Rhizoids
Small, multicellular structures that penetrate substrates
Lack chloroplasts and have reddish walls
Development
Protonema
Systems of chlorophyllous cells
Reproduction
Antheridia
Microgametangia that produces sperm
Archegonia
Megagametangia that produces eggs
The Sporophyte Generation
Foot
Bulbous tissue made by basal cell division
Capsule
A simple apical sporangium
Seta
A narrow stalk between the foot and the capsule
Operculum
A caplike lid that was differentiated from the apex
Peristome teeth
Cells that open the sporangium
Calyptra
Layer of cells derived from the archegonium
Metabolism and Ecology
Can thrive in low temperatures
Mosses are important for other species
Plants that exist in all parts of the world
Division Hepatophyta: Liverworts
Small plants with alternation heteromorphic generations
The gametophyte generation
Two types
Leafy liverworts
Greatly resemble moss
Thallose liverworts
Thallus
A body without roots or stems
Air pores
Air chambers that open to the exterior
Antheridiophore
Umbrella-shaped outgrowth
Archegoniophores
Set of radiating fingers that project outward and downward
The sporophyte generation
Elaters
Elongated single cells with spring-shaped walls
Division Anthocerotophyta: Hornworts
Small, thalloid plants
The gametophyte generation
The antheridial initials are not surface cells
The sporophyte generation
Foots are embedded in gametophore tissue
No seta or sporangium
Concepts
Three plant types
Nonvascular plants
Plants that have no vascular tissue or seeds
Vascular cryptogams
Have vascular tissue, but no seeds
Spermatophytes
Have both vascular tissue and seeds
Pollen and seed production eliminates water for reproduction
Characteristics of Nonvascular Plants
Embryotes without vascular tissue
Classification of Nonvascular Plants
Three divisions
Mosses (bryophyta)
Liverworts (musci)
Hornworts (hepaticae)
