Introduction:
Plants belong to kingdom plantae and are multicellular and autotrophic eukaryotes. They can make their own food by the process of photosynthesis, as they contain chloroplast, which captures light energy to make glucose. Plants include gymnosperms, flowering plants, conifers, hornworts, mosses, green algae, liverworts, and mosses.
Answer to Problem 1TY
Option (c) the liverworts and mosses.
Explanation of Solution
Explanation/justification for the correct answer:
Option (c) is the liverworts and mosses. Liverworts and mosses are
Explanation/justification for the incorrect answer:
Option (a) is ferns. Ferns are the vascular plants and were evolved after or from the non-vascular plants. Hence, this option is incorrect.
Option (b) is cycads. Cycads are vascular gymnosperm plants that were evolved after bryophytes. Hence, this option is incorrect.
Option (d) is
Option (e) none of the above. From the above options, option (c) is correct. Hence, this option is incorrect.
Among the answers given, a correct answer is an option (c), the liverworts and mosses.
