Does a moose eat a fern?
yes
How does the bird's nest fern obtain its food?
Ferns are green plants and produce food through photosynthesis like all other green plants; they vary from other the majority of other plants through their method of reproduction (spores and not seed). Ferns have a root system and also absorb disolved minerals, oxygen and water from the soil
Explain the stages in the life cycle of a fern?
The two stages of life of ferns are the sporophytic and the gametophytic stage
What stage of the fern life cycle is dominant?
The diploid sporophyte stage of the fern cycle is dominant. In seed plants, the opposite is true; the haploid gametophyte stage is dominant for these.
What is used to reproduce fern and moss?
They use these spores, these spores look like small bumps on the bottom of the leaf.
Where are the spore containing sori of a fern found?
The spore containing sori of a fern are usually found on the underside of their leaves. In water ferns the spores are produced inside the sporocarps. (Novanet/Gradpoint, On the underside of a fern frond.)
Where are spore-containing sori of a fern found?
The spore containing sori of a fern are usually found on the underside of their leaves. In water ferns the spores are produced inside the sporocarps. (Novanet/Gradpoint, On the underside of a fern frond.)
Where are the spore-contaning sori of a fern found?
The spore containing sori of a fern are usually found on the underside of their leaves. In water ferns the spores are produced inside the sporocarps. (Novanet/Gradpoint, On the underside of a fern frond.)
Where is birds nest fern found?
In tropical rain forests it is found as epiphyte on trees. Since the older leaves of this fern form a nest like structure it is called Birds' nest fern.
What structures might be found on the underside of fern leaves?
Sori (singular Sorus)
Where is location of antheridium on fern gametophyte?
It is located on the underside of the fern gametophyte.
Where are the spore bags found on the fern?
Spores are reproductive systems for ferns. They are dispersed and can survive for extended periods of time in unfavorable conditions. Two gametes fuse together to create a sporophyte which soon develops into a fern. Spores are important to ferns as they prevent their kind from extinction.
What are the black dots on ferns from?
The 'black dots' (or 'brown dots') on the underside of fern fronds are reproductive structures. They are called sori(the singular is sorus). Within the sorus is a central column (columella), covered by a hard cover, the indusium (the cover you see and call the black dot). Sprouting beneath the indusium (ferns usually have indusia, but not always) and attached to the columella are sporangia, spore-bearing capsules. The fern is the spore-bearer, the sporophyte stage of the fern life cycle.
Where can you find the spore bags of a fern?
You can find it on the underside of a fern.
Moss reproduce by forming what?
Mosses (and ferns, too) reproduce by forming spores. Spores look like little black dots on the underside of a fern's leaf. I do not know what they look like on mosses.
Where would you find a sorus?
on the underside of a fern frond
Why does the silver fern have silver on the underside?
Because its the way the plant grows!
