Sort the characteristics into those which are true of bryophytes and those which are true of modern land plants. Drag each item to the correct location.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking to classify certain characteristics as either true for bryophytes or modern land plants. The user needs to understand the defining traits of each group for accurate sorting.
Answer
Bryophytes: grow close to the ground, dense mats, first on land. Modern: lignin, vascular tissue, roots.
Bryophytes: grow close to the ground, grow in dense mats, were the first plants on land. Modern Land Plants: made of cells containing lignin, have vascular tissue to transport water and nutrients, anchored in the soil by roots.
Answer for screen readers
Bryophytes: grow close to the ground, grow in dense mats, were the first plants on land. Modern Land Plants: made of cells containing lignin, have vascular tissue to transport water and nutrients, anchored in the soil by roots.
More Information
Bryophytes are non-vascular plants, which is why they lack structures like lignin and roots. Modern land plants developed these features for better adaptation and support.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing which plants have vascular tissues because bryophytes are often seen in dense mats, suggesting complexity.
