Presentation Transcript

  1. I. Ferns, Mosses, and Liverworts Continue on to next slide.

  2. A. How Do Mosses/Liverworts Get Water? • Nonvascular plant • Only about 2 to 5 cm tall, cling to damp soil, sheltered rocks, and the shady side of trees • Leaves have only one or two cells • Rhizoids: root-like fibers that are on the outside; take in water from surroundings Continue on to next slide.

  3. A. How Do Mosses/Liverworts Get Water? • Spores: cells that can develop into new organisms (seedless) • Close relative club mosses, horsetails, ferns, and spike mosses are VASCULAR • They grow thick and tall Click this link to see pictures of moss and answer Question 1 on your sheet.

  4. B. Life Cycle of Mosses • Asexual reproduction: a plant that needs only one type of cell to reproduce • This process uses spores • Sexual reproduction: a plant that needs two types of cells to reproduce • This process completes the cycle to allow reproduction Continue on to next slide.

  5. Alternation of generations: process of going from asexual reproduction to sexual reproduction B. Life Cycle of Mosses Click this link to learn more about what causes moss to grow and answer Question 2.

  6. C. Differences in Mosses & Liverworts • Click on this link. • You will have to arrow to the third page to answer the next question, also please feel free to make any of the pictures bigger on the internet page by clicking on them. • What are three differences in mosses and liverworts? Continue on to next slide after answering Question 3.

  7. D. Parts of a Fern • Fronds: the front leaves of ferns • Rhizome: underground stem which ferns grow from; roots sprout from this Continue on to next slide.

  8. E. Life Cycle of Ferns • Reproduce by alternation of generation; just like mosses • Fern seeds are on the fronds of the ferns and scatter on the ground Click this link to see the different types of ferns and the life cycle of a fern.
