Bryophytes need standing water to do what?
reproduce
Why are bryophytes are called as amphibious plants?
Mosses belong to the division Bryophyta. Bryophytes are generally terrestrial plants but they need water in order to reproduce. As moss is a bryophyte even it is a terrestrial plant which needs abundant moisture for growth and reproduction. So mosses (Bryophytes) are called the amphibians of the Plant Kingdom.
What do bryophytes need a film of water for?
Reproduction. The spores of the plant must travel on a film of water highway to complete the reproductive process.
What is the common features between bryophytes and frogs?
They both are amphibians and they both need water to complete their life cyle
Standing water in bathroom?
You need a plummer
Does bryophytes require water fertilization?
No, angiosperms do not need water to reproduce. Bryophytes, or mosses, need water to reproduce-the sperm cells swim to the egg by following a trail of chemicals in the water. Thus, mosses reproduce in wet, rainy seasons of the year. Angiosperms, on the other hand, do not require water because the stamen releases male gametophytes, pollen grains, that are carried by the wind to the egg in the carpel.
What group of plants require water for sexual reproduction to occur?
Strictly speaking all plants, for without water plants die! However algae, bryophytes (mosses and liverworts) and pteridophytes (ferns) all have motile male gametes which require free water to swim through to the female gamete.
How are water and nutrients transported through bryophytes?
Water and nutrients are transported through bryophytes using the xylem. The process of translocation is used for this purpose in plants.
What method is used by bryophytes to absorb water and nutrients What is it called?
diffusion
Are bryophytes the simplest group of plant?
Bryophytes are the simplest land plants because they lack vascular tissues and are usually 1 to 2 cm in height and they need water for their reproductioin and they live in damp places and in them gametophyte generation is dominant.
Why water must be present for the bryophytes to complete the sexual portion of the life cycle?
The male sex cells,androcytes of bryophytes are motile and require a medium to swim in to reach the female sex organ for fertilisation.Hence water is essential as it becomes the medium for the androcyte to swim.
Do bryophytes draw up water by osmosis?
Bryophytes are a type of non-vascular plants that draw up water by using osmosis. One of the more well known plants within this group are species of moss.
