Plants secrete a waxy covering to cover itself so it doesnt dry up.

Stomata to exchange gases with the environment, can be open or closed, closes when theres excessive water, open means CO2 in H2O vapor out.

Transpiration causes water to be pulled through the roots in the soil, root system evolved so that water can b absorbed through vascular system

Xylem-water transport

Phloem-sugar transport

Rigid body made out of lignin to withstand air(closest thing to a living rock)

They have a seed for land plants

All plants have an embryo but algae

Sporic life cycle for plants, zygotic meiosis for algae

In water the egg from archaegonium and sperm from antheridium meet and create a zygote. On land the sperm germinates the egg in the archaegonium creating the embryo.

Bryophytes

Algae like plants

don't have: stem, root, leaves, cuticles, few with no stomata, no lignin

(ex. Mosses, liverwarts, hornworts)

theyre small and live in wet conditions

Have a stomata like structure that is unregulated and stays open. have rhizoids instead of roots

IN WATER

Its heterospory, the microsporangium has microspores. The microspore through endosporic development produces a microgametophyte in the microspore wall. 

The megasporangium has megaspores in it, and it goes through endosporic development as well to make a megagametophyte in its megaspore wall. One of the sperm comes out and enters the megagametophyte to fertilize with one of them and this will form an embryo which feeds off the rest of the megagametophyte to grow.
