BRYOPHYTES
the oldest land plants
they have been preserved to the present day
the oldest resembled today's liverworts
they do not have a conductive tissue
they do not grow up to great heights
absence of conducting and supporting tissues
they are divided on mosses and liverworts
BRYOPHYTES – structure of a moss plant
small stalk
leaf
attaching threads (attached to a substrate, it leads
partially nutrients and water)
after fertilization, bristle with a capsule is
developing
the capsule is closed with a lid - spores
BRYOPHYTES –
structure of a moss
plant
BRYOPHYTES - liverworts
LAMELLAR
• flat
• bowed
• grown firmly to the substrate
FOLIATE
• two rows of sessile leaves disposed
on the stem in one plane
BRYOPHYTES - liverworts
BRYOPHYTES – life cycle
BRYOPHYTES
– life cycle
BRYOPHYTES – life cycle
spore germinates in moist environment
from the spore is created richly branched protonema
from the protonema of moss plant
there are on it:
gametangia (egg cells)
female antheridia
humidity is important for fertilization
from the fertilized egg cell grows bristle and capsule
BRYOPHYTES – occurrence
all over the Earth
part of communities of higher plants
they predominate in the northern areas
they colonize places inhospitable for higher plants
BRYOPHYTES – importance
they quickly colonize the newly exposed soil
it prevents soil erosion
they are involved in the formation of humus
they keep water
they contribute to the maintenance of the
landscape and higher humidity in the
meadows and the woods
indicator of air pollution
REVISION:
1) What is the importance of
bryophytes?
2) Describe the picture.
3) Where the mosses occur?
4) Describe the metagenesis of
bryophytes.
5) Liverwort include……..
