Are hornwarts sporophytes?
What do hornwarts structures look like and they usually live in moist soil mixed with what?
True or False/ Seedless, vascular plants have true stems, roots, and leaves
Why can vascular plants grow quite tall? Give two reasons
In seedless vascular plants spores grow into gametophytes that produce egg cells and sperm cells. Why must there be water avalable to them?
True or False/ Most ferns have above ground stems
True or False/ In most ferns the leaves grow upward from the top of the stems, while roots grow downward from the bottom of the stems
The leaves of ferns are called fronds. How does their upper surface help the plant retain water?
When you see a fern with its visible fronds what stage is the plant in?
How and where do the spores develop on the fronds of the ferns and what do the spores develop into?
There are two other groups of seedless vascular plants they are horsetails and club mosses. Why don't we study them more?
