Gametophyte-haploid Sporophyte-diploid
Yes, sporophyte is photosynthetic in the immature stage when the sporophyte is still green and have photosynthising cells still in it. It can need up to half its nutrients from the photosynthesis capsule for later in its life.
The dominant generation in gymnosperms is the sporophyte generation, while in angiosperms it is also the sporophyte generation. The sporophyte generation produces the structures that we commonly recognize as trees, shrubs, and flowers in plants.
In moss, where the sporophyte grows directly out of the top of the gametophyte.
In a seed, it is the sporophyte embryo that is present. The sporophyte is the diploid generation that develops from the fertilization of gametes, while the gametophyte generation is typically reduced and dependent on the sporophyte in seed plants. Thus, the seed contains the developing sporophyte embryo, which will grow into the mature plant.
Three examples of a sporophyte are Polypodium, mosses, and a pine tree.
In ferns, the dominant generation is the sporophyte.
The sporophyte stage depends on the gameophytestage because the gameophyte stage has a photosynthic stageand because the sporophyte stage lives shortly.
The sporophyte of plants can perform photosynthesis. The sporophyte is the diploid multicellular stage in the plant life cycle, and it is responsible for producing energy through photosynthesis to support its growth and development.
Flowering plants do not have a sporophyte. They have antheridium and archegonium to produce their gametes. Sporophyte is found in ferns, mosses, club mosses, lycophytes, etc but not in flowering plants. Flowering plants produces pollen while a sporophyte produces spores
Blade grass, like other flowering plants, primarily exists in the sporophyte stage of its life cycle. The sporophyte is the dominant phase, characterized by the production of seeds and flowers. The gametophyte stage is reduced and typically occurs within the reproductive structures of the sporophyte. Thus, blade grass is predominantly a sporophyte.
The sporophyte stage depends on the gameophytestage because the gameophyte stage has a photosynthic stageand because the sporophyte stage lives shortly.
