4. • Bryophyte Life Cycle – Diplohaplontic, Homosporous
• Gametophyte dominant, Sporophyte dependant on gametophyte
• Gametangia (cluster of sex organs)
• Sporangium
7. Moss Sporophyte
• Grows out of
adult
gametophyte
• Dependant on
gametophyte
• Sporangium
containing
spores located
on the top
8. Rhizoids
• A structure in plants
that functions like a
root in support or
absorption.
• Not a true root due to
lack of vascular tissue

Division
Has Leaf like structures
Bryophyta Sporophyte has a capsule with calyptras
(mosses) Gametophyte grows from protonema
Important part of the eco system
17. Division Bryophyta (moss) Protonema
• When a moss first grows from the spore, it grows as a
protonema which develops into a leafy gametophyte.
18. Kingdom: Plantae
Domain: Bryophyta
Genus: Sphagnum
• Demonstrated moss

lab
• Looked at the clear,
non photosynthetic,
absorbent cells
• Compared to green,
photosynthetic cells
• Absorbance
important in the
global ecosystem
roots (rhizoids) that anchor them to their substrate
A protonema is a thread-like chain of cells that forms the earliest stage (the haploid phase) of a bryophyte life cycle. When a moss first grows from the spore, it grows as a protonema which develops into a leafy gametophyte.
