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……..
