- Bryophytes encompass the oldest plant lineage and are estimated to be approximately 475 million years old. O True O Falsearrow_forwardPine trees are coniferous trees native to most areas of the Northern Hemisphere. Pines produce seeds in the form of pine cones. In some species, pine cones open automatically upon maturation to release seeds. Other species rely solely on birds to break open the pine cones to disperse the seeds. In still others, a resin holds the pine cones closed until a forest fire melts the resin and the seeds can be released. Immediately after a forest fire, what type of growth would pine trees experience?* O Logistic O Exponential O Linear O Parabolicarrow_forwardAlthough we do not know exactly what the first vascular plant looked like we can be very confident that it was similar to the fossil plant Cooksonia. Based on our understanding of Cooksonia, we can assume that the first vascular plant? Reproduced using seeds in strobili Had photosynthetic stems, not leaves Did not have branches Was dioeciousarrow_forward

- There is an evolutionary trend for more basal plants to be gametophyte dominant, but more derived plants to be sporophyte dominant. Suggest one reason why there might have been an evolutionary advantage to spending more time in the sporophyte generation.arrow_forwardA typical food chain in the San Joaquin Valley consists of plant roots >> gophers >> snakes. If a snake weighs 1.5 pounds, how many pounds of plant roots would there need to be to support that snake? (Type only the number--do not spell the number--and don't include the word "pounds")arrow_forwardIf plants were able to respond in any possible way, what could plants have done to make productivity higher or at least less vulnerable over the past 400,000 year time period?arrow_forward
