Why do bryophytes require water in their life cycle?
Bryophytes need water for sexual reproduction because the flagillated sperm swim to the non-motile egg in order to fertilize it.
Why do plants such as bryophytes need to have liquid water present in order for sexual reproduction to occur?
Bryophytes have neither pollen nor flowers and rely on water to carry the male gametes (the sperm) to the female gametes (the eggs). The spore capsules are produced after the sperm have fertilized the eggs. Hence the spores are part of the sexual reproductive cycle. .
Why is it important for water to be present for the fertilization of mosses and ferns?
As the aquatic algae doesnt contain any specialized tissue cells all the cells can absorb the water and nutrients where as in the mosses specialised tissue is present to absorb the water and nutrients. water is necessary for fertilization in mosses where as in vascular plants water is not necessary for fertilization.
Why can’t bryophytes reproduce without water?
The first thing bryophytes need to reproduce is water. Since they usually live in places that are moist at least some of the time, this isn’t really a problem for bryophytes. However, they still wait until a rainy period to reproduce, because they need water to carry sperm to the eggs.
Do you agree bryophytes need water for fertilization?
Yes, in Bryophytes. water plays a vital role in fertilization since water film is needed for the transfer of spermatium (male sex cell) to the egg cell.
Do you agree with the statement that bryophytes need water for fertilization justify your answer?
Do bryophytes require water for fertilization?
Bryophytes also need a moist environment to reproduce. Their flagellated sperm must swim through water to reach the egg. So mosses and liverworts are restricted to moist habitats.
Do you agree with the statement bryophytes need water for fertilization If yes explain?
Without water male gamete cannot be transfer towards the female gamete so we can say that it is true, Bryophytes need water for fertilisation.
