Where are spores produced in ferns?
On the underside of the leaves, ferns have got sori, or clusters of sporangia, which produce spores.
What are the four elements needed for photosynthesis?
chlorophyll, carbon dioxide, water and solar energy
What do plants create from carbon dioxide and water?
glucose, which is the plants’ food, and oxygen
How do bryophytes absorb water?
The part of the plant above the ground obtains water from the air through small leaves called phyllodes
What is the process by which plants create food from inorganic substances?
Photosynthesis
Which plants have clusters grouped in sori which contain spores?
Ferns
What is produced and released during photosynthesis?
oxygen and energy in the form of sugar (glucose)
What anchors mosses to the ground?
Rhizoids
How can the process of photosynthesis help combat global warming?
Photosynthesis plays a vital role in removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, helping mitigate the harmful impacts of excess carbon dioxide emissions
What are necessary to transport substances in some plants?
Vascular tissues
What are plants with fluid-carrying vascular tissue called?
Tracheophytes
Which vascular plants have seeds within a fruit?
Angiosperms
What plants reproduce by means of spores?
Pteridophytes
What are non-vascular plants called?
Bryophytes
In which part of the plant does photosynthesis take place?
Leaves
What are plants with a vascular system and spores called?
Pteridophytes
Which vascular plants have seeds on a cone?
Gymnosperms
