land plants are thought to have evolved from:

-green algae

the bryophytes:

-includes mosses, liverworts, and hornworts AND are small plants that lack a vascular system

spores grow:

-into gametophyte plants -into a haploid plant -to form a plant body by mitosis

the gametophyte generation of a plant:

-is haploid -produces haploid gametes by mitosis

the green, gametangia-bearing moss plant:

-is the haploid gametophyte generation

a sporangia is:

-on a diploid plant -on a vascular plant -found on ferns

the sporophyte generation of a plant:

-produces haploid spores by meiosis -is diploid

in plant life cycles:

-the first stage in the diploid sporophyte generation is the zygote

red algae, green algae, and land pants are collectively classified as

-archaeplastids

all plants:

-are a monophyletic group -have a cuticle covering the aerial portion of the plant -develop from multicellular embryos -evolved from green algae -store starch

liverworts:

-are bryophytes -can produce archegonia and antheridia on a haploid gametophyte
