What is an archegonium?
An archegonium is a multicellular structure in plants, specifically in bryophytes and some ferns, that produces and contains the egg cells. It is typically located in the female reproductive organs of these plants and plays a key role in sexual reproduction by allowing the egg cells to be fertilized by sperm cells.
Where does fertilization of the egg occur in a seedless plant?
Inside the archegonium
Where is the photosynthetic tissue located in the liverwort?
In the Archegonium
What does an archegonium produce?
the archegonium structure produces haploid egg cells (the female reproductive structure-think "egg" like archEGonium) wheras the antheridium produces haploid sperm cells (the male reproductive structure)
What do the sperm produced by mosses require to reach an archegonium?
Sperm produced by mosses require a film of water to reach an archegonium. The water helps in carrying the sperm to the archegonium, where fertilization occurs. Without water, the sperm would not be able to swim to reach the archegonium.
Where does fertilization take place in bryophytes?
In bryophytes, fertilization typically takes place in the archegonium, which is the female reproductive structure. The sperm swims through water to reach the egg inside the archegonium, where fertilization occurs.
The egg of a moss is produced within a cavity called what?
The egg of a moss is produced within a cavity called the archegonium. This structure contains the egg cell and is where fertilization occurs.
The organ that produces the egg cell in the pine life cycle is called the?
The organ that produces the egg cell in the pine life cycle is called the archegonium.
What is one difference in how flowering plants and Cone bearing plants reproduce?
Cone bearing plants have their egg cell in the archegonium whereas flowering plants (Angiosperms) have egg cell in the embryo sac.
Where are female eggs inside of the body?
in plants: the ovary holds the ovule which holds the archegonium (egg)
How are the archegonium and antheridium important in the life cycles of a moss?
The antheridium is the male sex organ of a moss, and the archegonium is the female sex organ. These two, when joined produce moss offspring. So, why is it important in the life cycle of a moss? It's because moss need them so that they can reproduce.
What is the one difference in how flowering plants and cone-bearing plants sexually reproduce?
Cone bearing plants have their egg cell in the archegonium whereas flowering plants (Angiosperms) have egg cell in the embryo sac.
