What are leaves? what are the two types? What is the difference between homosporous plants and heterosporous plants? What are megaspores and microspores? What was significance of the ecological role of seedless vascular plants back when they dominated terrestrial habitats? Why is that so important to our modern world today?
How might Bryophytes and Lycophytes (“true” mosses and spikemosses) have contributed to the evolution of flowering plants and other land plants?
Identify four derived traits that distinguish plants from charophyte green algae and facilitate life on land. Explain.
